Mildly itchy sores on penis head
Hi,
I am traveling internationally and just noticed couple of mildly itchy sores on my penis head, pink in color. They were not actively bleeding but I saw some blood spots on my briefs. I have not been sexually active for past month. I was diagnosed with Chlamydia about 10 weeks ago, first time I ever got a STI. I got tested for other STIs at the 6 week mark and was negative for Syphilis but need to be retested in Jan to be completely sure.
A bit worried since I won't be back home for another couple of weeks and am wondering if this is another STI for which I need immediate antibiotics. I am 34 years old and am not circumcised. I don't see an option to post pictures but I can post some if there is a way to do that here.
Any responses much appreciated.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
