Getting Herpes from licking

Ok... so im sure all of you have answered questions of people just worrying and the more I look up about herpes the more im sure i don't have it but it's the human mind. First of all clarification because every site is different could i somehow get it if someone who might have herpes (I don't know) licked my stomach not oral sex at all and not kissing in any form. Because after they licked my stomach I got a couple pimple kind of things that weren't blisters at all and only on my lower stomach in a cluster that i didn't even think about. However they lasted for several weeks then someone made a joke what's that i said a rash they said oohh you have herpes so i looked it up and then of course it's nearly gone now but now i'm worried out of my mind and then i read more and i don't know if it's the human mind but as soon as i read the symptom that your genitalia might itch it started but then other sites said that this would precede blisters 1 to 2 days after and it's been 4 or 5 but idk i just felt like checking if I could somehow get herpes from being licked not oral

thank you very much, well then if i don't have it im just happy that i looked alll this up now to know how not to get it and all the risks, because schools sure don't tell us anything, they tell us symptoms sometimes and say don't get it but they never told us you can get it from kissing or anything or some of the other diseases that can pass using utensils and stuff.

No.  The skin on the stomach is too thick for herpes to penetrate, and herpes sores don't last for several weeks.  It would last a couple of weeks, tops.
