Brown spotches and circular lesions on penis

background: 23 uncircumcised gay male, on minocycline for acne 200mg per day, recently tapered off of sertraline. otherwise healthy male in a relationship. have been STD tested before starting relationship and same with partner.
the past couple weeks ive noticed sometimes my penis head and shaft would get red splotches and these splotches would turn brown over time leaving a spot. it was not concerning at first but it seems like there are more and more of these splotches now.
in addition, just the past couple of days i noticed like little miniscule pinprick like red boils/pustules. im not sure if im using the correct descriptions. it doesnt itch or hurt. now these bumps seem to be creating a hole like formation over my penis head. i have scheduled a doctors appointment but would like to get some input in the meantime.

This may be balanitis which is treated with a steroid cream.  Would you consider seeing a doctor to make sure?
