Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

From your description, it does not fit into herpes unless you have had a contact with herpes infected source. It could be an isolated allergic reaction any cutaneous infection. You may observe it for a while and see if there is pain/ itching or new blister formation and then see your doctor.

Please note herpes can also be spread by close skin contact and lesions are very painful, usually located in genital, oral or chest and upper back regions.
If in doubt please consult a dermatologist.

Hope this helps.
