Oh and you'd only get sores at the site you were infected - if you had oral herpes, you'd only get sores in that area. If you had genital herpes, you'd get sores in that area. Its very rare to get herpes on your hands.

There is no std that can make your penis shrivel or even look shriveled - that must be psychological.
Herpes causes blisters or lesions, sometimes paper-cut like sores. You'd get symptoms within 2-20 days most likely, and will show up on a blood test within 4 months.

No, herpes wouldn't disappear that fast. I'd wonder if you have some kind of fungal infection everywhere.
Wait for your results to come in, and talk to your doctor about a fungal infection or even some form of dermatitis.
