1. If it healed within 3 days, is it safe to say that is pointing towards not herpes?
That’s correct
2. There was only one ulcer/abrasion. Is that not typical of herpes?
Well, herpes can present with a single ulcer, so that’s not definitive
3. My first red spot and second ulcer/abrasion did not look similar at all in terms of how they healed. Would herpes recurrences heal in the same way?
Usually, yes, if they are in the same type of area.
4. Wouldn’t my first outbreak be in the first month if I was symptomatic?
Yes
