question about transmition

In mid December I had a one night fling with a girl I just met.  We didn't have sexual intercourse nor did we have oral sex.  We basically engaged in mutual masturbation.  So here are the details.  She fingered herself first while I touched my penis for a few minutes.  Then about 3 minutes after she had fingered herself she touched my penis briefly.  then went back to stimulating ourselves until completion.  I now have a single red bump the size of a small pimple on the shaft of my penis since Monday.  It has not changed in size, has not changed in appearance, has not scabbed over or opened up.  I am experiencing mild discomfort in that area but not harsh pain.  

So here is my question.  How likely is this to be herpes?  Could she have transmitted herpes from her fingers to my penis in a brief touch?  After she briefly touched my penis I then stimulated myself until completion so I guess it is possible I could have rubbed the virus in that way?

Thanks for your time.

I didn't think it would be possible and I hope its just a pimple.  Cross fingers

Hi no risk for transmission from masturbation. The needs to be naked genital contact with rubbing and grinding to force the virus into the nerve and this area needs to be a ganglion area meaning anywhere in the boxer short area or in the upper body area as this is where the 2 ganglions are located and the nerve pathways to your spine.
