Herpes Anxiety

I was in amsterdam recently, I was drinking/Smoking and ended up in a sex club. I will not go into too much detials. Before I had sex with one of the girls in the club. I made sure before doing anything wether the girls had any scars or any active lessions before sex. She looked very clean to me. The condom did not break or completely slip off during sex. The head of my penis was flly covered the whole time. I could not come during sex so I took out the condom and stimulated my penis to get an ejaculation.
I have read that the Herpes Virus can only be transmitted through an abraded skin or through the urethra (when having unprotected sex).  
My questions are-
1) Since I took off the condom at the end and stimulated using my hand, is it possible that I could be infected as the penis shaft might still have some vaginal fluids and my rubbing the penis could have transmitted the virus to the penis head.
2) How long should I wait for the symptoms to appear before I can start thinking that I might have dodged the bullet.
3) I have a single red bump on my penis, it is probably 1.5 mm in diameter, should I approach a doctor and start medication?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.

you can contract genital herpes with a condom but the risk of such is low.  same as the risk from a one time encounter in general is very unlikely to result in genital herpes infection.

your bump doesn't sound like herpes going on.

no real reason for any testing from this encounter unless you develop obvious symptoms. we recommend protected sex because it works!

Thank you for your response. How long should I wait for the symptoms to appear before I can start thinking that I might have dodged the bullet?

typically they develop within 2-20 days of infection.
