Brief Answer:
doesnt look like herpes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to the HCM.
As I can see from these photos it doesnt look typically like herpes especially if this is not painful and more likely it would be allergic reaction or penis irritation.
But of course, STD cant be rule dout for 100%. I suggets to apply mild topical steroid cream such as nistatine and sustain from sexual intercourse in 1 week.
If there is no improvement, you should do std testing,but at this point I dont think there is need for concern. WIsh you good health. Regards
