Std Symptoms

I recently asked a question on here regarding potential for Herpes contraction from a protected csw encounter. I'm curious if any of my current symptoms might be related to how a herpes infection might present itself. This is day 5 now and I'm just trying to cover all of the bases.

-This whole week I have been feeling tired and having a lack of appetite. (Hopefully just anxiety).
-Also yesterday I noticed a red rash on my right arm on the top of my wrist. It is still there now but is less prominent than last night.
-I have also been itching over most of my body more than usual for the past couple of days. Mostly on my face and genital area along with my shoulders and chest area.
-Lastly I developed two bumps underneath my right eyeball to the right of my nose. One resembled a pimple which I popped and now has seemed to heal up. The other is a white small bump.

Could these be herpes symptoms or any other type of STD symptom? Just concerned about how I should handle this and what to think.

most of this is probably anxiety related.  see your provider for any symptoms as needed.

Thank you for the comments. I've read a lot of your posts Grace and I really appreciate what you do.

My cause for concern is primarily the itching. I can't figure it out. It seems to be semi-frequent and in random areas around my body.

The rash also concerns me. It seems to be not nearly as bad tonight. It does itch a bit. Is there anyway herpes can cause a rash there?

I don't see how I could have it in a single bump under my eye but I'm not one to rule anything out at this point.

Any way any of this is remotely herpes?

If not....what in the world is going on?

no reason to think you contracted herpes or any other std from your encounter. we encourage protected sex because it works !

Go and be seen for your current symptoms. no reason to suspect a std as a cause.
