    It doesn't look like herpes at all. Some sort of reaction is going on, but I have no idea what. Did you cut yourself or did that just happen on its own?

      Perhaps from shaving? I've heard that herpes can appear in the form of cuts

      Yeah. Could be from shaving. Herpes is pretty distinct, even when it shows up lightly. That doesn't look like herpes.

    Doesn't sound like herpes, especially if your doctor said it isn't. Herpes symptoms usually include several tiny blisters and lots of itching.
