Huge anxiety over herpes

48m
I am going to give some detail for context.
Thank you in advance.
On July 28 2011 I visited an Asian massage parlor. It's really a bodyrub on floor.
Masseuse sits on top of you part if the time between your legs.
I touched get private while her underwear was on.
She started a handjob on me. Then i took her pants sbd underwear off.  I didn't touch her unclothed.
I then took over and masturbated, finished and went in bath washed hands and penis. ( I hope this isn't too vulgar, nit my intent just want you to have story).

I developed two red pimples on buttocks and called Gp
Saw my GP week later and he saw no signs and said low risk of catching herpes.
Had annual  physical on august 19th.  He said mild foliculitis that's it.
Just about that date I was having some itching back there and have had a tenderness
Feeling in lower buttocks for 2 weeks since that will not go away. Feels a little tingly and tender.
Saw my dermatologist this  past week. She had seen me a week earlier and gave me some cream to treat some
Irritation around anus, no bumps.  She said clearing up nicely  That piece doesnt overly worry me  She said could be yeast infection.
I did not discuss STD scare with her but she did look briefly at buttocks and had no concern.
She had no comment on tingling/tenderness.
I'm scared that this tenderness is a sign ohms herpes.
Have been in one monogomous relationship for 15 years. No concerns whatsoever there as far as being monogamous on both sides. Scared.

I assume you saw my posts after my initial posts to clarify
A few things-really just to add a little extra detail
Also, i posted this on the derm forum but received no answer:
Again-thank you in advance, really appreciate your insights:

For past two weeks have had mild soreness and tingling
In buttocks. My dermatologist said I had mild
Follicultis and general practioner (not my regular guy)
Said heat rash. I see no rash at all and dermatologist
Said just really minor follicultis.
Prior to two weeks ago never had any soreness, rashes
Or anything. I don't even sweat down there.
Neither doctor addressed my question and concern.
What could be causing this?

A fungal infection around the anus is extremely common for males, yes.  Are you using daily antifungal treatment?  Is it oral or topical?

Around the anus is still itchy as well. What time frame for this to stop?

Also while getting the massage she did have short shorts on
Do her skin( thighs) could have come in contact with my
Skin. Still no risk you think?
Sorry for the followup questions but just trying to revoncile all this

I think your experience at the massage parlor presents no risk to you for genital herpes.  The sexual contact that you had was safe and not risky.  I'm glad that your symptoms cleared up with the antifungal medicine, that's a very sign.  We see lots of fungal infections at this time of the year, so not a big surprise.  

There is really nothing else to say about this except that I have zero worries that you might have contracted herpes in this way.

48m here. Just to clarify typos. I touched her underpants.
She then removed herself and I didn't touch her but did masturbate myself.
However a few minutes prior to that she did give me massage and did touch my penis.
Dermatologist treated me for fungus and yeast infection. With cream and ointment.
Concern is original encounter at parlor and the unexplained tenderness in
Buttocks for the past two weeks.

Apologize for all the previous typos.
