Herpes from protected sex with sex worker?

i had protected sex with a female caucasian sex worker 9 days ago. i was intoxicated and the condom didn't cover my whole penis, but probably all of the penis that was inside her. the penetration probably only lasted for about 30 seconds to a minute. i do not think i washed myself off after the encounter. 1 1/2 days later i noticed a pain in the tip of my penis, mostly on the left side. it seemed kinda like external irritation, but kinda like internal irritation. sort of itchy, sorta stabbing, but not too bad. i took a test for gonorrhea and chlamydia, and both came back negative. then i thought that the pain was probably caused by chaffing from running since i hadn't done that in a long time. i stopped masturbating for 3 days and the pain started to go away. then i started masturbating again and the pain came back 7 days after the encounter (2 days ago). this time the pain was mostly on the right side. i started inspecting my penis and noticed cracked, dry looking skin, although it does not actually feel dry. there was also some redness. i did not inspect the penis very well when i noticed the pain 1 1/2  days after the encounter. there is no discharge or painful urination. i masturbated with lotion and it actually made things feel better afterwards, possibly from the moisturization. most of the dry skin is right under the penis head and some parts of it kinda look like little white bumps. there are no red bumps, although part of the penis head is kinda red. the bumps look much better when i am erect, making me think it's just how the skin looks when dry and are not solid blisters.

i have been diagnosed with dry skin on the penis by a dermatologist before about 6 months ago, probably due to eczema and not a fungus, the doctor said. the doctor did not inspect the penis well though. i have an itchy scrotum usually.

i have no fever, headaches or muscle aches that i know of.

does this seem like it could be a herpes infection?

2) what are the approximate chances of getting herpes as a male with a female WITH open herpes sores if a condom was used in an encounter like mine? (i don't know if she had open sores) 1%? 50%? i really don't even have a good range here. i see HIV statistics all the time like this but haven't found any for herpes.

I would say more far less that that, though we don't have great statistics, no, because most herpes is not transmitted from people with an open sore at the time that they have sex.

3) what are the approximate chances of getting herpes as a male with a female WITHOUT open herpes sores if a condom was used in an encounter like mine?

Maybe one in 10,000?

4) if i were to have started getting herpes symptoms 2 days after the encounter, what would happen 9 days after (now)? i can't seem to find this anywhere. it seems like my condition has remained about the same except for the time in the middle where it got a little better. if i did have herpes blisters, when would they be bursting?

If you had acquired herpes from this encounter, I would expect your symptoms to move from redness to a raised blister to an ulcer to a scab.  It doesn't sound like any of this is happening for you, right?

5) i have heard if you pour urine on herpes sores it will sting very badly. what if you pour urine on herpes blisters, rash or early signs? does that hurt too?

oh my, I would imagine that it would, yes, though I've not heard of anyone trying this.

6) i know herpes usually show up on or near the penis head in males, but what if the penis head was covered with a condom? if i contracted herpes would it be more likely to occur near the base where it was exposed? or would it be more likely it entered on an unprotected region and ended up showing up near the head?

If you had contracted herpes, you would likely first notice symptoms more at the base of the penis than the head, but the symptoms could then move to the head of the penis as those nerves became more involved.

I think the chances of you acquiring herpes in this situation is really low, and your symptoms are not consistent with a genital herpes infection, honestly.
