About a week ago I shaved my buttock area. In between the cheeks and everything. A few days later I got this sore. It healed a bit but after I touched it it re opened. Please help

It does look like it but you also just shaved did you shave any other places?

I only shaved there. I was tested for genital herpes in December. I have only had 2 partners since then, and both times I used protection. The second partner was the day after I shaved. I did not use lube the second time, could that be a factor?

Yes, I did have protected anal sex.

Honestly it's hard to but because it is 1 sore and outside the the anal area and on a cheek I'd say you are probably fine but for peace of mind get it checked out and hopefully get it swabbed so you know for sure.
