Herpes Sore Location

Hello. 5 days ago, I had a girl kissing around my groin region. She had no sores but before proceeding to oral, mentioned she thought she was getting a cold sore. Everything stopped then.

They very next morning, less than 12 hours later, it felt like I had a slightly swollen lymph node in the right side of my groin. I know this is supposedly a herpes symptom, but it seems awfully fast since incubation period is 2-12 days.

Today, I noticed 4 tiny flesh colored... bumps I guess, on the head of my penis. They're probably less than 1 mm in diameter. For all I know, they've always been there.

Given she never made contact with that area, would sores show up there (if these are even sores)?

Sorry, just a bit paranoid about this whole thing now.
