Herpes or something else?

I recently called an escort about 4 days ago to give me a sensual massage. I was given a protected oral sex and unprotected hand job. I wasn't generally concerned with STDs (because I knew the chance of aquiring one is neglible), but after having the thought of acquiring HSV-1 it gives me the chills.

Before the massage begins, I have asked her questions in regards to her medical history. She said she is cleaned, but she doesn't seems to know the term 'herpes' means. I have taken the liberty of checking her mouth for any obvious signs of cold sores/blisters, and it is all clear (or so it may seems). When the massage begins, she used 'baby skin oil' to use as a massage oil, and used it on my entire body. Without checking her hands, I have allowed her to massage me, which I am extremely regretful. As my general concern right now is whether she has HSV-1 or HSV-2 is on her hands.

At the same day after the massage, I have noticed a really small skin hole (around 0.5) where the blood can be oozed out if squeezed on my pelvic. It was itchy, and it recovers the day after.

Moving on to the symptoms:

On DAY ONE after the encounter, I experienced itchiness on the back shoulder and on the side of my right hand. Not anxious. On DAY TWO, I experienced itchiness on the back shoulder, on the side of my right hand, on my right arm, on my stomach, and slightly on my groin. There is a slight bump on my right arm, and a bit of blood can be squeezed out at the center of the bump. There are also a slightly small volume of liquid present with the blood. This is when I starting to worry about HSV-1 But it could be an insect that had bitten me (that is a possibility). On DAY THREE, scab covered the bump on my right arm, still itchy on my back, on the shaft of my penis (don't know why), on the side of my right hand, and slightly on my stomach. Lowered down anxiety On DAY FOUR (today), my body is still itchy. Becoming very anxious.

Some places where it itches does not show any red skin on my body, but places like my back shoulder sometimes do. (Probably because I scratched them, but I can't be sure)

So my questions is:

1) Can Prodome status of Herpes cause this kind of symptom I am experiencing?

2) Do I have herpes?

3) Is it even theoretically possible to have herpes on my entire body? (Assuming her hands is infected)

4) Can this be caused by the 'Baby Skin' oil that she used for massage? (Inflammation)

Generally, I keep saying to myself that I do not have Herpes, as the symptoms began at DAY ONE and not DAY TWO. But I can be wrong at this point in time.

Please do help.

You don't have herpes.  Protected oral and a massage carries no herpes risk, assuming her lips only contact the condom.  HSV infections of the hand are extremely rare, and multiplied by the chance of someone shedding virus from their hand means there is absolutely no way you could get herpes from the exposure you describe.

Thank you for your comment, stillHurting. I can now safely assume that this 'itchiness' of mine being from either some sort of a skin infection or inflammation from the massage oil.
