Anyone know if this is a herpetic whitlow?

i woke up yesterday feeling like I’d gotten a burn on my first and second knuckle on my pinky finger.

First knuckle didn’t result in anything but my middle knuckle developed a blister by about lunch time yesterday. Today, the blister popped several times throughout the day when I would bend my pinky. It’s a single blister only, redness appears localized.

I honestly thought nothing of it until I googled my symptoms and this came up as an option. It isn’t all that painful, my pinky is a little stiff and I’d say the blister feels like it burns a little if I mess with it, but if I don’t I feel nothing.

A little worried it could be a herpetic whitlow as it looks like some of the more mild images online.
