Yeast infection or Genital Herpes?

Greetings,
i had sex with a girl three weeks ago,
after the first week the skin under my forehead started to peel off and there was a smelly white substance.
I got dry flaky skin but also experienced 2-3 very very small white blisters/lesions on my penis shaft.
The redness went away the first week, the blisters created a black spot on them and left too afte 3 days or so but the itchiness is still there mostly on the sides where the legs connect, the skin on  my penis now is shiny.
I am wonder if this is a Yeast infection cause as far as i know herpes doesn't create flaky skin or smell.

Thank you!

Doesn't sound like herpes at all. I would see your Dr for a proper diagnosis. Sounds Fungal or bacterial

thanks a lot for your fast reply!
As i said there were these blisters in random spots, 2-3 on the shaft that after a while got a black thing on top and then dissapeared, thats what makes me believe its herpes cause they got dry, its not true?
I will go soon to make a test to my doc, cheers!
Herpes lesions progress to a fluid filled blister that pops and drains the liquid. They usually take 10-14 days to heal. Good luck at your Dr and please keep me posted on what your Dr says
