Doctor can examine: Rashes are hard to describe and hard to visualize in words. Little bumps on the lower half of the penis may be open or closed comedones, or be folliculitis which is an infection in the little hair follicles in the skin. Rashes that itch a lot may be allergic reactions, skin infections, bug bites, etc... Herpes comes from another person who has herpes, so the question is always... from whom?

Could be herpes: symptoms vary more in men than women. Your best off getting seen very soon, so medication can be started if it appears to be herpes.
