Shiny Light Red Spots on Head of Penis
Day 2 Photo (skin peeling and red spots): https://imgur.com/a/Ak3xs

Day 5 Photo: (just light shiny red dots): https://imgur.com/a/zC8I2
The red spots on the head of my penis appeared after masturbating about 5 days ago. They are not very itchy or painful. I do sometimes feel tingling in my anus but that could be due to hemorrhoids and cheaper toilet paper I recently switched to...I could also be paranoid.
Initially there was dry skin and bit of redness on the shaft of the penis but that healed within a day or two. They have progressively got less red.
I went to a doctor in South America and he said he thought they were herpes, but they haven't erupted and I'd like a second opinion. I've bought Valtrex just in case. Any thoughts?
