Now I noticed yesterday that my skin looks irritated in my genital area by the balls, and I kept stretching my skin to take pictures, kindly look at my picture and tell me if this is herpes or what it could be please
It was vaginal sex and it lasted about 5 minutes

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I understand your fear following this unprotected sexual encounter. your symptoms and images are not suggestive of herpes. I will not be worried for now because they do not point to any potential Std as well. Please, always try to avoid having sex with persons who have many sexual partners.

Brief Answer:
These are not suggestive of herpes in any ways!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up information.
All these pieces of information is not even suggestive of herpes. Your worries are real but this is not a possibility at this time. All these spots are more of irritation and in no way close to the classical lesions of herpes.
What your partner has is more of a canker sore. However, I would have loved to see the image before making any conclusions.
Let me hear from you and know what your thoughts are at this time.
