Any opinions on this? Herpes? Bacterial? Shaving?

So I have this currently on my bum cheek about 5 or 6 cms's from my anus. Nowhere else. I have had it before. I am very sweaty down there and get quite damp between my legs/buttocks and I do shave this area. I don't feel unwell. No pain urinating. It doesn't get any worse than this and is only slightly painful when my clothing rubs against. I get it quite regularly in roughly the same area and have on occasion had it on my bikini area, again where i shave. Sexual health are not convinced this is Herpes but not sure what else it can be

    I get the picture isn't great, however it is quite small as you can see from the comparison with my nail.

    I should have said they tend to disappear after a few days, 4 or 5. No ulceration. It kind of just dries up and goes away.
