Had Unprotected Sex. Red Rashes On Penis Head, Itching, Burning Sensation. Need I Worry?

Hi there
I had unprotected sexual about 4 days ago. Have now developed a spotty red rash on the rim and penis head. It's mostly centered around the rim. The spots are like tiny pin heads. It feels a tiny bit itchy and burns slightly but not painfully. I also frequently need to pee but it doesn't hurt. Also my penis is very smelly. I'm really worried this is herpes.

Thank you.
