Do I have Herpes after performing oral sex on female?

On Wednesday night/ Thursday morning 2am I performed oral sex on a 55 yr old promiscuous African American female. I basically only used my tongue and a licked the top of clit. By Saturday my tongue was tingling and slight burning. Now a week later I have what what appears to be small white almost Whitehead like on my tongue and my lips.  One of the small Whitehead/blisters broke when I ran my finger over it.  It did ooze a little clear liquid.  Does this sound like I contracted HSV 1 or HSV 2.  I know that the girl has had sexual activity with someone who has HSV1

It is rare for herpes to go from the genitals to the mouth. This isn't something I'd worry about at all. Definitely get your symptoms checked, though. It sounds as if you have something going on, but I'd be surprised if it's herpes.

Even knowing that I performed cunnilingus on a promiscuous women.  Then had the herpes symptoms within the week.
I noticed what looks like red rash scab on top of right upper lip now as well. It never blister or popped just appeared that day when I woke up one morning.  I’ve had chapped lips but this doesn’t look like anything I’ve had before.  The original blister and this red mark are both completely new.  I’m expecting the worse and very worried.  Haven’t stopped thinking about it.
Go to the doctor or an urgent care and have this mark looked at. Auntiejessi is right. Transfer from the genitals to the mouth is unlikely. You would more likely get HSV1 from kissing than performing oral sex.

Additionally even if you have had a blood test igg and have been negative you can only be roughly 70% sure of that as the igg test misses 30% of hsv1 infections

While not impossible, the little bit of contact you describe would typically not be enough to transmit herpes. You may want to see a doctor and have your sores swabbed and pcr tested or cultured.

You may not realize this but at least 50% of adults are infected with hsv1 and most do not know it because they rarely if ever get outbreaks. So, you may be infected and not know it, and because of this 50% prevalence, most uninfected people have had numerous sexual encounters with someone that is hsv1 positive. I would also add that the 50% figure is a conservative estimate. Due to cumulative exposure, it's likely that in the demographic of people over 40 years old, at least 65% of them are infected with hsv1.

My burning sensation on lips is gone but the white dots are still there.  The blister/white pimple was center of top lip. My blister which appeared one week after exposure has popped two days later. Slight scab but is already going away after Abreva for two days.  My tongue and gums behind lower teeth still tingling non stop.
