A paper cut on foreskin due to dry masterbation

Yesterday I masturbated with dry hand a little rough, however, when I woke up this morning I got this cut on foreskin area of penis. It doesn't hurt, but I feel a very little burning sensation.
As of right now, I am scared that it might be some kind of infection. herpes at worst. I had sex a month ago with a condom, if that info helps. As of right now, I am not having a good day whatsoever.

Could this be a tear on foreskin, due to dry masturbation? Or is this Herpes? This is the first time it happened to me, but months ago, as I was cutting off some hair near the penis, I believe I nipped the right side of the foreskin with my mini electric clipper causing similar burning sensation of what I have right now. So, I am not sure if the scar ripped yesterday, of masterbation. Help!

There is no reason to consider you have herpes as a result if this cut.

If you are infected with herpes, its likely you'll have an outbreak within a week of that infection.

If you would like to appreciate your HSV status, then you can obtain an IgG antibody blood test, but I do not think this is required here.
