Do I have herpes or something else?

I made the biggest mistake of my life a few days ago. It was midnight On Tuesday November 1st (Wednesday morning). I was driving home and saw a hooker on the side of the road, I don't know what got into me but I ended up getting unprotected oral sex from her. It was under 10 minutes but I ejaculated. It wasn't until morning when I realized what I had done. I started to google what I could potential get, it was nice to see that everything was curable but herpes.  Since that day I have not shown any signs of herpes, however, I have noticed this "tingling" feeling now and then on random areas of my body. It's more like a prick from a needle, doesn't hurt but I notice it.  I've felt it in my shoulder, around my arms, upper belly/chest, upper back, in my ankle, behind my knees or around it, on my thigh, on my foot, and only a couple times near the pelvic/groin area.  I look at my penis everyday looking for any abnormalities and it seems normal. Seems very jelly like (not as stiff as before, probably me not thinking about much else).  But no marks or growths.  One thing that scared me was after the fact she had put something in her mouth when I asked her what it was she said crack, and that she wanted to take a hit in my car (to which I said heck no). This was probably what got me more paranoid that anything because I always remembered crackheads do anything for a fix, and now I'm terrified that I may have gotten myself into some trouble. I could live with any sti/std that is curable, but herpes I can't or even hiv (which seems very unlikely from what I've read). I'm 33 and now and I do want to settle down and have a family knew day and this just makes me feel sick to my stomach. If I did catch something, I would never want to bring someone into my life with it. I know I could be just really feeling this in my mind. But I don't know what's normal now that I'm focusing on this.  Is it possible I could have gotten something else that's curable, or that maybe she got crack in my system and I'm just getting sensation for that? I didn't get to look at her lips to much, but from what I remember she seemed ok, she was just really slow in her speech and walking (probably from drugs) but I don't know enough. I have never been this foolish or irresponsible in my life. I've only had two relationships in the past and about 4 sexual encounters with people I still know. This was my first unprotected oral from a stranger/hooker I ever had and I'm scared it will have life long consequences.  Can someone please help me think this through? I have nobody to talk to, too scared of sharing this with my close friends and family.

It does fit the description of mollusk um but way to soon to be from this last exposure. I would have them looked at by a physician or dermatologist.

Those are not hsv symptoms. More like anxiety and over focusing. Again your risk was low for hsv. Even for a crackhead. I would get a bacterial std's urine test to be safe anytime after 4 days.

Update! So about 3 hours ago I notices a few pimple like bums on the bottom of my ball sack. They didn't hurt and weren't easy to pop. Was more like getting a blackhead out....after it popped a white hard thing came out and a bit of blood. They seem to be growing around the base of the hairs. I did some research and it seems like molluscum, but it seams that the incubation time is still too short (I'm at the 4 day mark since oral). Any ideas?

Your odds of contracting hsv1 from this exposure is very very low. So low in fact it doesn't warrant much fear or concern.

Thank you. But what about the "symptoms" I'm feeling?
