Worried about Possible Herpes

Hi.
I am 25 years old male. On or around August 16 I received unprotected oral sex from another male who I don't know at all and this was very quick. I also humped him on the outside of his butt cheeks for a bit. My other encounter happened around September 1 and it involved masturbating with another male, while we both went back and forth from masturbating our own penises to masturbating each others penises. My penis had contact during this second encounter with the side of his leg.
My concern is that September 7 I noticed a small round white pimple on my right inner thigh which after a couple of days now has grown considerably. Today it is the size of a pea, white in the middle, red surrounding it, and sensitive to the touch. Yesterday it itched a lot, but not so much today and I don't have any pain on it today. Furthermore, since September 8 until today I have been having a lot of mucus problems, coughing, body aches, low-grade fever, and fatigue.
Please advice me on my risks of herpes and if this pimple and symptoms are herpes related.

Thanks!

You have a cold. Those are not the flu like symptoms that come withome an hsv primary outbreak. Also the bump you describe is not an hsv lesion. Your oral exposure was very low risk and the mutual masterbation was as close to zero risk as it gets. You may want to visit your physician just to have the sore looked at as well as your cold/flu.

Thanks a lot for putting my mind at ease. The cold problems I am having have gotten a little better today as I have been taking Mucinex for two days now. Yes, my doctor should look at the pimple as right now it is itching me again...
