Massage

I know In my mind that this is a zero risk situation but my anxiety is getting the better of me and I think typing it out will help.  Anyway, I had a Thaisssage the other day, nothing sexual, just a standard oil massage.  I have since been worrying about some pimples I have on my back that were a bit red and possibly bleeding, what if the massuse had cuts on her hands, is there any way for infection to happen in this case?

You had a no risk encounter.
If anything, the pimples spawned from the OIL massage. (Oily skins creates pimples)
Like mbhurt stated, move on with your life, you are fine!
