Hi XXXX
These small marks could be due to some sort of allergy, may be due to condom.
Since they have already disappeared with causing any problem nothing to worry, but observe for their recurrence.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to herpes infection in the present scenario
Detailed Answer:
Hi I have seen the attached photograph.
I could find three small vesicles with scratch or excoriations, no pus filled cavities.
Herpes rash typically erupts along the distribution of a nerve.
I hope your doubt has been clarified.
If you get a recurrence of the rash in the same area with pain, then it could be due to herpes.
So, you are advised for careful observation.
Regards
