i may have been exposed to herpes almost over a year since the summer of 2017
i was using someone dildo who mightve had herpes at that time. i didnt see any dried fluids on it and i did put a condom over it. i am gonna get checked out

would just get it checked out to be safe but could be a pimple from shaving and getting oily fluid inside.

You can't catch herpes that way. Herpes requires skin to skin contact, and while theoretically experts would agree that you should not take a dildo that has been used by a person with herpes and then immediately use it, there is zero risk from dried fluids + a condom on a dildo. In the incident you describe, there would be zero risk even without a condom.
As to what's going on, it doesn't really look like herpes, but anytime you have a symptom you're concerned about, you should just get into an urgent care to request a PCR swab. Did you dilute the tea tree oil? From my understanding, it can burn your skin if not diluted enough. Herpes also typically presents as clustered blisters on a red base, where the blisters rupture, ulcerate, and then scab over. So again, while it doesn't look typical of herpes, the reason so many people have herpes and have no idea is because the symptoms can be incredibly mild, or people can have no symptoms at all! Another option is that if it has been at least 3-4 months since any possible exposure, you can request a herpes IgG blood test, which looks for herpes antibodies in your blood.
Please come back to update us if you visit a health care provider, which you should if for no other reason than piece of mind. But also so you can confirm if all you're dealing with is some irritated skin, or if another infection (bacterial or viral) needs to be treated.

my doctor told me to fast before my blood test and I didn’t do properly she is tested for STDs such as chlamydia and hiv but I didn’t talk to her about the HSV exposure she gave me a blue paper and I wrote hsv on it so when I did get tested they check for it I can’t do a swab test because I never had an outbreak before and I hope I don’t have HSV 2 . what do you think you’ll come back positive
