Erotic Massage - risks?

I have been under an enormous amount of stress lately through work and family circumstances.  In order to try to get away from it all briefly I made the stupid decision to try an erotic massage.  I thought it would be relaxing and safe.  At a couple of points in the massage, the masseuse rubbed her genital area on mine (both unprotected).  There was absolutely no penetration but there was contact and rubbing between the shaft of my penis and scrotum with her vagina.  I am not sure how long the contact was - maybe 20 seconds or so each time. I am now seriously concerned about STD's.  I have been happily married for over 13 years now and have a young family.  I am in my late 30's and I am worried sick about this.  It has been 2 days since the incident.  My anus is itchy and has a burning sensation.  On inspection it looked normal but I think I saw a bit of a swolen area (dark in appearance). I think my testicels might be a bit swolen as well but I am not sure (I keep focusing on them mentally but they seem normal).  I think I have a burning sensation at the tip of my penis but again not sure as I am constantly thinking about it.  I have no other symptoms right now, no visible marks or anything.  I also may have had a few hot flashes in the past few days.
How worried should I be?  Is there a high risk of contracting an STD from this type of contact? Could symptoms show up this quickly? and are my symptoms characteristic of an STD? Should I get tested and if so do I need to wait?  
Thank you for your assistance.

You need to stop coming on here and the internet in general looking around for things because it is just feeding into your anxiety over your situation. Please I urge you to stop because it is not doing yourself any good.

Trust me I am coming form experience on this. The internet is a dangerous place when you are obsessing about something and you will never find an answer to what your looking for.

How about Syphilis? I heard Syphilis is transmitted through skin to skin contact.

If the massager has a Syphilis sore near her virgina and she rubbed against the penis or any part of the body, can Syphilis transmitted in such way???

Thanks so much for your comments.  Very helpful and reassuring.  I will get tested because I want to be sure and want peace of mind.  I am also going to find a counselor tomorrow for this and my stress. Thanks for being there for me!

Your risk was very very low.  You THINK you are experiencing symptoms but it is more the anxiety over this massage getting to you.  Pretty ironic considering you went to relax and came out with yet another thing to stress over.  Honestly, the only 2 std's that would present symptoms within 2 days is gonorrhea and herpes.  What you THINK you are experiencing is definitely not herpes and gonorrhea is a long shot as well.  It would really seem it is all in your head at this point.

I could tell you over and over your overall risk was low.  Actually, your highest risk factor is herpes and with no blisters so far, we can rule that out at this point.  But you seem like the type to stress and stress despite what you are told.  So, in order for you to get the peace of mind you need to get this monkey off your back, do yourself a favor and get tested for chlamydia/gonorrhea.  Those are the only two that could remotely resemble the symptoms you THINK you have.
