Brief Answer:
not genital herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask a doctor Service. I have gone through your query and I have viewed the Images.

No, herpes usually presents with painful sores not as spots and patches. This most likely looks like a fungal infection. I suggest you to use an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole 1% cream or ketoconazole2% cream, twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
