[Question #5612] Massage question

Hello doctors, After reading through your many replies regarding erotic massages I think I already know the answer to my question. I actually tried to submit this question last week but had some technical issues preventing me from posting.
On Monday of last week I went and received a massage that included a "happy ending". The masseuse was fully clothed and there was only hand-penis contact. Nothing else. The massage included a lot of oil. Three days later, on Thursday night, I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed my penis and the area around my penis was itchy.
On Friday I noticed that the area where my scrotum meets my inner thigh on my left leg was itchy and red. Also, there was a patch of skin on my penis that was red and slightly inflamed. Th area around the base of my penis and in my pubic hair was also slightly inflamed and irritated/itchy.
On Saturday the itchiness persisted. The patch of skin on my penis was still inflamed and itchy and I could see that the skin along the left side of my penis was reddish and itchy. I applied hydrocortisone gel to my penis/base of penis/thigh area which helped to relieve some of the itching and redness.
On Sunday I could see that some of the redness and inflammation on my penis was reduced. In the areas that were red there were some tiny bumps (along the shaft of my penis, base of penis, and some on my thigh) which seems to have come and gone with the redness. They never turned into open sores or anything like that.
Today, Monday, I was able to stop in and see my dermatologist who said it's possibly dermatitis and/or a slight fungal infection due to sweatiness etc (I run and work out regularly, and it’s been quite hot here), and/or a reaction to a new product (maybe the oil from the massage?) and has prescribed me two types of topical ointments to help aid in healing. She said they did not seem like a STD.I guess I am just looking to confirm that the "happy ending" I received on Monday, three days before the itching occurred, was zero-chance to have given me some kind of STD.
1.) Was the happy ending massage a no-risk/zero risk event?
2.) The itchiness/rash I started to experience on Thursday is in no way related to a STD from this event? (and just bad timing?)
3.) Once the rash/itchiness heals, can I continue unprotected sex with my wife without worry?
4.) I should probably put the notion that the happy ending massage might have given me a STD out of my head, right?
I have been tested for all STDs (including HSV2) before getting married a few years ago and came up negative for everything. I have had no other sexual partners since being tested (other than my wife).

In fact, after typing this all out I went through a mental time travel and now recall a single lapse of judgement about three, maybe four years ago. After a few too many drinks I received a very brief (maybe a minute or two) blowjob from a coworker (a woman). I don't recall experiencing any kind of discharge/pain/burning in the subsequent days following the blowjob (I would have definitely remembered).
No need for worry about anything because of this event? Put it out of my mind and just continue on with my life without worry I exposed my wife to anything? Thank you and this is my final question.
Thanks again for all of the hard work you put in here.

Looking back at it I regret what I did, my wife was breastfeeding our child at the time, and I just want to make sure I didn't put them at risk because of this stupid incident. Also- I do know that my coworker is/was promiscuous.
Thank you and you can consider this my final question.

Haha, funny how I (and others) think my situation is different than the hundreds, if not thousands of similar questions you've received over the years. Ok, now I feel dumb. Haha.
