Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you to my virtual clinic HCM!
I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
It seems to be a sexually transmitted disease related genital lesion. You need to get checked for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea from a laboratory.
As a prophylaxis and to treat in the right directions you need to start with antibiotics orally. If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you with Azithromycin 1g once daily. Along with that apply Hydrozole cream topically. Avoid cream going into the penile opening.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you in no time. If satisfied here, please give a generous five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
For any disease you have, a timely follow-up after sometime regarding the treatment efficacy and to see any need to change the treatment options is very necessary. Keep a follow up some days after this visit session ends.
Regards!

I haven't had sex in more than 2 months and they just popped up I'm thinking they are not an std because my partner is clean
Brief Answer:
Latent period also counts for; and, other than sex also may transmit it.
Detailed Answer:
I welcome you back with a follow up query and happy to answer the questions you have.
There is a latent period between exposure and the appearance of the genital lesions and sometimes people remain asymptomatic altogether. Infection may even spread through kissing and licking as an asymptomatic individual may also be a reservoir of the infection and oral, vaginal and anal secretions may all transmit the infection.
I have started you with prophylactic treatment as there is no improvement with topical antibiotic and anti fungal. And I have added a steroid cream to cover the infection and inflammation and to cure the redness of the lesions. I would suggest starting it after discussing with your treating doctor.
