Brief Answer:
Looks like allergy rash

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The rashes in the picture are more suggestive of a possible allergic reaction.
I feel a course of anti allergy medicines with mild warm fomenting effects will help you.
If however the rashes increase to the skin as well they may be significant.
Do let me know if the change occurs.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal

they only lasted 3 days or 4 days. i went to sexual health clinic today and both the lady i saw and her colleague said what i presented with didnt really look like a herpes outbreak mixed with the fact i didnt have usual symptoms like itchy or pain or pain when peeing and they didnt ulcer, they both agreed it wasn't herpes. the rash didnt spread or change shape or get bigger and pretty much disappeared over night on the 3rd night. I still feel a little worried as i have anxiety about these things. with what i showed you in pics and what i was told at clinic .. do you think i can relax about this?

Brief Answer:
Levocetrizine may help

a short course of levocetrizine may help.
However, since it's healing on its own you might wait.
