Is HSV-2 via genital-to hand-to genital possible?

[krallice]

I engaged in mutual masturbation with a woman about 12 days ago. I was tested for all stds about nine weeks ago and have hsv-1 (i get cold sores now and again) but am negative for hsv-2. i'm concerned because she gave me a handjob with the same hand she used to masturbate herself. i also stroked myself a bit with the same hand i touched her vagina with.

yesterday, 11 days after the encounter i found a single, very small pimple-like bump on the shaft of my penis.

today, i am noticing four small bumps on my scrotum, all close to one another. they don't look like blisters, but like the skin is inflamed a bit.. but it's hard to tell..

does this sound like a herpes risk/concern? i'm really regretting this encounter and am hoping i haven't put myself or my girfriend at risk..

one follow-up question.. I have a dermatologist appointment in two days. The bumps i noticed appeared over saturday/sunday but already seem to be fading away without blistering or ulceration.

I'm going to keep the appointment with the dermatologist (i have an appointment with my gp this afternoon). If this was a herpes outbreak, especially an initial one, that appeared on saturday/sunday, they probably wouldn't be gone by thursday..right?

Thank you.

My dermatologist isn't available until later this week so I have made an appointment with my regular doctor in NYC (a dr in Internal Medicine) examine the bumps today.

If he looks at them and tells me 'no concern, it's not herpes' can i leave it at that? i'm only asking because he's not an std specialist nor a dermatologist. this will be my absolute final comment.

Dr Hook has already answered this question for you.

your regular provider is a fine place to start to be seen at for your symptoms.

if i do make an appointment with a doctor, would a dermatologist be more appropriate in this case? or should i go have an std specialist look at it? thank you in advance.
