Under my right armpit is swollen and blisters?

Hello, I contracted herpes through my first time ever having oral sex. Its been around 2 years but now for the first time ive got red sores like blisters on my upper right back and under the right armpit is swollen. The left side is fine. Since I know I have herpes, is this just a outbreak or is there some other medical issue i should be worried about?

I'm worried it could be cancer or something along those lines, I can live with herpes but cancer is terrifying

If you received oral sex any symptoms would be in your genital area. What are you worried about as mentioned if she did not have any lip sores your risk would be close to zero.

So what could this mean? Is it possible I have some form of herpes from oral sex that would do this? Starting to worry

If you contracted herpes in your genital area, you would not have any issues with your back or armpit as this is your upper ganglion nerve center.

The doctor told me that it was definitely herpes, I received oral but i don't think thats the answer you're looking for?
