Herpetic Whitlow?
I received an erotic massage a few months ago and during I rubbed my index finger fairly vigorously over the masseuse crotch. She was wearing jeans, not sure if she was wearing underwear but I would assume so. I never touched her skin with my fingers and this contact with her jeans lasted a few minutes. I don't know how much later as this instance with the masseuse has occurred multiple times. Either way I noticed a small painless skin textured red bump on my finger. My finger was neither tender nor red other than the small pencil eraser sized bump. I even squeezed it a few times and nothing came out. The bump never changed color, shape, or size for about 2 -3 weeks. After I noticed there were no changes going on I decided to use a wart remover on the bump and it went away. I have had a cold sore before and this small skin textured bump behaved nothing like a cold sore. Could this have possibly been a herpetic whitlow?

Herpes, or any other STD, does not go through clothing. You had no risk here for anything, including whitlow.
Whatever is on your finger is not an STD. Since it went away with wart remover, it was probably a common wart.
