Dry skin Rash as HIV symptom. Help

Hello. I live in India & about 1 month back I went to a massage parlor where the girl after giving me massage with oil gave me a handjob. While giving me handjob with one hand she pushed her one well oiled finger of other hand in my anus & vigorously   kept on stroking it till I came. Although I did not feel any pain but after this I became scared and checked her finger too which she had put in my hole. There was no visible cut but her nails were long. After about three weeks after the incident i.e. about a week back I noticed a skin rash in my left underarm about 5”  below my armpit. It was a very dry skin patch about 1”x1” with no pain or itching. I washed it thoroughly & the dry skin flakes came out leaving a reddish brown skin discolouration behind which exists till date and the skin is no more dry. I experienced no other symptoms .
Can this dry skin rash be symptomatic of HIV infection  & can this kind of exposure lead to HIV. Should I get tested ? Please answer my query as I am extremely worried and going nuts..

You never had an exposure.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
