Is this possible?

Is it possible to get genital herpes from touching an object that someone with herpes touched then touching your genitals?
A couple days ago a little pimple like bump appeared on the side of my penis. Its red but its not like a boil or a pimple because it doesnt have that more pointy shape, and when i push it from 2 different sides it feels like theres something kind of hard in there. can this be genital herpes?

herpes is usually a fluid filled blister, not a hard lump.

Have you seen your provider to have this looked at? if not then that's your next step.
