Concerned

Sunday night (it is now wednesday), I had unprotected vaginal sex multiple times with a new partner. The day after (in the afternoon), I found red spots on the head of my penis (I am uncircumcised). Now it is wednesday morning and the bumps / spots have persisted and I believe a few more have appeared. A couple of them look like pimples, the others are just red spots. There are about 15 spots total on the head, underneath the foreskin. The spots are spread out and are not really clustered in any location. They are not noticeably painful. I have been diagnosed with eczema on my penis before, so my foreskin and the head of my penis are irritated fairly frequently, but not usually with spots like this. Based on my understanding of the incubation period for HSV-2, it would seem the symptoms came too soon to be Herpes, but I am concerned. Please advise. Thank you very much.

You would have to see a Dr. Skin issues can be many things often not a STD and this does not sound like a STD
