Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
There are not much chances of herpes after a massage.
It usually presents with tiny closely grouped blisters associated with pain and burning.
Only dry lips is not associated a presentation of herpes.
For absolute confirmation you need to go for ELISA test for herpes 1 IgG and IgM.
