Could Pimples On Penis Shaft Be Genital Herpes?

Hello
Im a 22yr male, 175cm, 80kgs.
I have been having symptoms of what i think are genital herpes. There are 2 pimples(??!?!) near my genital area, and 1 on the penis shaft(Not together). Mostly red, but with a white centre. It itches a little, but no discharge or pain yet. Does herpes have the same symptoms,?!
Ive had protected sex many times in the past 6 months, but cant comment on the credibility of my partners. please someone share your knowledge, and advise if i should have a test done.
