Is it herpes? Or something else?

So I had a sexual encounter with an acquaintance 8 days back, wore a condom, but had oral sex without one. After a couple of days, I developed a sore throat with white dots on my tonsils. I went to my GP, who told me that he thought it was 'definitely strep throat' , which was yesterday (7 days after, as it started getting better but then stalled).

I got two lesions (don't know if they were zits or cold sores), one developed a day before I got my sore throat not on my lip but close to it, turned red and white filled, became hard, and is now just kind of there not hurting or doing anything. It's still hard. The other one developed on the lip line, was tiny, had a whitehead, and pretty much went away after a couple of days. Neither burst or were painful, nor were they preceded by any tingling etc.

However, what's more scary, is today, there is a tiny red dot on my penis. Yesterday, it did feel a little itchy, but not consistently throughout the day, not in that spot in particular, and not at all in the evening. I checked at night before I went to sleep, and there was nothing there.

I will definitely visit a dermatologist, but the earliest date is wednesday and I'm freaking out. Can I get my tonsils swabbed to check for herpes? Is it possible that this red dot is something else? It's tiny, like smaller than the smallest dot you could reasonably make with a pen or a pencil

This doesn't sound like herpes. Sounds like strep and pimples. Hsv lesions are not hard or under the skin. They are superficial. Meaning on top of the skin.
