Doubt herpes or STD: It's impossible to guess about the cause of this, but I agree this doesn't sound like herpes or any other STD. The large majority of genital skin problems aren't STDs. The doctor or clinic treating your balanitis is by far in the best position to figure this out and give reliable advice. Good luck with it.

Balanitis: Skin inflammation can create peeling, but the clotrimazole may not be curing the balanitis. To treat candida, I recommend topical nystatin ointment.

Does a herpes rash go away in 2 days because i had a rash on my penis head with little bumps but with warm water went away? Could it have been herpes

Not likely: Highly unlikely that herpes would go away in two days. There is no substitute for an exam by an experienced clinican.
