Need some advice

About for weeks ago I had protected sex with a female. There was also a lot of deep oral kissing, I did not see what was on her lips because it was dark.

What happened was I developed a small white blister on the inside of my lip and it is somewhat painful. Could I have contracted herpes from this activity?

Thank you

An oral herpes infection could have occurred, but initial oral herpes usually causes multiple sores and blisters, not a single one. And what was the timing? Did the blister just appear? Initial herpes starts within a few days after exposure, definitely not 3-4 weeks later.

If it wasn't painful, cleared up just as quickly, and another blister has not recurred, I doubt it was herpes. And half the world has oral herpes, so if you also do, it won't be any big deal in your life.  So I suggest moving on without worry about unless and until you get repeated outbreaks. In that case, quickly see a doctor or clinic for conclusive diagnosis and testing.

It looks like one single white clear blister. It was like 2-3 days later but cant say for sure.
