herpes or allergies?

In my previous question i have asked about the transmission risks. However this time i have noticed three itchy red bumps (the size of a pore) after i was given a rub with massage oil. My question is that should i just leave it as it is and see how it turns out? as well as if it is herpes how can i avoid it spreading to other parts of the body?

up to date, the three bumps are still there and are quite itchy however it is not pus filled. In addition my inner thighs fill itchy as well. It is already the sixth day from the last potential encounter. could someone please provide some insights? does this sound like a typical herpes symptoms?

this honestly sounds like a reaction to the oil... if the bumps occurred right after the encounter I would just watch it, but if you are concerned of HSV due to your last encounter then just get tested.

The encounter above was not a risk for any risk.
