[Question #771] Could this be Herpes?

Hi Doctor – Thanks in advance for your time and thought. I was with a commercial sex worker a few weeks ago. There was no insertive sex of any kind but she did grind on me for several minutes. She was wearing panties the entire time but they were a meshy lace design so there was some skin to skin contact between the spaces of the mesh.
10 days after contact I discovered a single, slightly painful raised pimple between my butt cheeks. It was not easy to monitor but it never broke down into small blisters and didn’t look like the classic picture of herpes I’ve seen online. It always felt more like a solid pimple. I’ve gotten pimples like this before on my butt and hips and they always take a long time to heal. This was no exception – two weeks later it was a small red dot and fading.
2 weeks after the first pimple (or whatever it was) arrived, I’ve discovered a new slightly raised painful red bump. This one right on the crest of the butt cheek. A day after I discovered it, it’s no longer a pimple but looks like a small healing sore (maybe it popped?). Pretty much this looks like a smaller version of the what happened to the first pimple but just looks to be running its course faster.
A few key points – my rear end never came in contact with the sex worker. Also my butt is pretty hairy and the first pimple is in a zone with quite a bit of hair. The second one less so.
So my questions – Could this be herpes? I believe I’ve read on your Medhelp website that the first outbreak of herpes is pretty much always at the point of contact and my genitals are entirely clear of anything.
Thanks very much for your help.
