Herpes scare
So I’m a virgin I have never had or even touch another person.
Until 5 days ago. While drunk I was accosted by another male at the urinal of a pub toilet. We ended up in the stall.
Not much happened. He touched himself and I touched myself. We swapped hands for a while so I touched him he touched me then back to myself. We swapped hands a few times but our contact was just hand to penis.
Does this in anyway theoretically or other wise spread herpes.
I ask because I noticed today two red bumps at the base of my penis. Not painful. They are where hair grows on my shaft and I have recently shaved. So I’m hoping and guessing the most likely explanation is hair coming back through.
Since I have noticed them they have become itchy and as I have itches them a little they are much more red and “open” and bigger.
Should I be concerned and seek testing. I feel like the most unluckiest guy in the world right now. As the time fits from what I read.
Anyway hope you can help. I know without direct examination and test it’s going to be hard to diagnose. But I guess the burning question is hand to genital contact a risk. Especially if swapping hands

It sounds like infected or inflamed hair follicles from shaving, and not herpes. SIllyMistake is correct - there's no risk from mutual masturbation.
You use the word "accosted", then describe this as if it was consensual. Was it? I just want to make sure you know you are allowed to say no.

Pretty easy. Mutual masturbation exposes you to no risks so there is no risk to this event.
