itching face after massage please help me

sunday i went in for a massage from a small basement massage parlor. she massaged my body with oils back,chest,arms,hands,head and face. after leaving i went to csv and got some face wipes to wipe the oil off my face. around 3 am i started having an itch monday thoughout the day the itch has gotten worse my face itches and so does my head it randomly itches in around my temple area near my eyes and top of my head and near my chin also i now have pain and itch in my hand. ive read it could be from the oils she used but i washed my face after leaving with wipes and took a shower when i got home. im thinking maybe i cought herpes as they are known for giving hand jobs. i have not been able to sleep since then. my face is constantly itching near my eye and minor pain in that area as well with a slight stiff feeling. she even mentioned to me that her hands were very dry which seemed kinda funny becouse shes contantly putting oil on her hands to give massages. im just so worried this is herpes i dont know what could be causing this. please help me

i never had any form or eczema in the past as far as fungle infection if i did it must have come from there but i dont know anything about that or what to look for for that type of infection. i know in the past i had an itch from the oils from that same massage place in the past on my back but thats becouse i didnt wash the oil off and after i washed my back the itch left me. ive washed over and over again but its not leaving. this is making me think this is more than oil its almost a week now.

Your welcome. Remember, hsv is a virus and viruses follow patterns. This is not how hsv acts at all!!!

today i went to see a dermatologist i didn't have any bumps on my face he shined a light on my face for like 2 secound and said my skin is red so he gave me some face wash and told me to use it and come back in 2 weeks my arms now itch and so does a spot on my stomach and my side.. the arms have been itching for a couple of days now. i didnt mention the arms or the side becouse i was more focused on the face he said the face can become inflamed from body oils and become dermatitis from body oils shouldn't the body oils not affect the body then im lost can you help me understand.

You have a better chance of being struck by lightning during a shark attack. Whitlow is VERY rare. You would have developed lesions by now. See a dermatologist as you did not get hsv from this. Stop washing and exfoliating as well. This dries everything out and strips the skin of essential oils. Makes everything worse.

It surely isn't herpes. Zero chance of that. Herpes whitlow is only contagious during an outbreak and you would've noticed the outbreak on her hand. It's also extremely painful so I doubt she would've rubbed it all over you. I suggest a dermatologist if it continues but it's not hsv.

it was hard to see her hands in a dark place i could barley see her. its crazy that my face has never itched before and the next day after her touching my face it starts to itch. i've cleaned it exfoliated and its till here and getting worse as we speak. i guess if she had it i dont think shes going to let a hurt finger stop her from making money shes going to go to work. i dont know many people that dont go to work unless they have a really bad flu or something like that and even then some people still go to work.. im going to my doctor today and see what she says but i think im screwed i guess ill wait and see if bumps start popping up on my face. but this crap itches. im going to also try some cortizone cream and see what happens
