Brief Answer:
This could be as a result of an allergic reaction from castor oil.

Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.
Based on your above mentioned fact (protected sex) I think there is very low possibility that these lesion to be as a result of herpes(HSV2).
The most probable cause in your situation is an allergic reaction from castor oil as well from the friction (hand rubbing on your pines).
You should know that exists side effects of castor oil when you apply on your skin. So, an allergic reactions can occur on applying castor oil on your skin(as you have done) and rashes and redness of skin could appear there.
Furthermore I need an attached picture of these lesion to define better the diagnosis.
But I suggest you to do an HSV2 IGg test just as a precaution.

I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
Regards.
