Herpes or Yeast Infection?

Hello,
I am a sexually active male in my mid twenties. I practice safe vaginal intercourse, however I have recently noticed a large cluster of white papules the size of a pin prick under my foreskin and some red dots on the head. There is no pain, itching, and I've had them for a few weeks now (from when I noticed).

I'm paranoid that it might be herpes, but I won't be able to get tested for another few months due to where I am currently located.

I have these as well, but I've had them for years and had always tested negative for herpes. I am facing what I hope is a yeast infection right now, and have been for over a year.  

What cream did you use to get rid of it?

They look like pearly papules to me. Best to see the doctor when you can.

Although there is some resemblence to a herpes lesion, the papules are too consistent and too permanent to actually be a herpes lesion.
