Is this herpes?

These two small red lesions recently showed up on my glands and I'm worried that they are HSV. I haven't been sexually active in over 5 months so I assume that it would have been bad or showing signs by now. I went to urgent care and the doctor said it is probably a skin irritation and I did a urine sample test that I'm waiting for results on. The doctor said that she doesn't think it's herpes because it's not filled with fluid. Any second opinions would be much appreciated.image
