      no you can not HSV 1 and 2 are different, 1 is only cold sores and 2 is genitals. although you could get 1 on your genitals if you receive oral from someone who has a cold sore but it is still not herpes 2. I honestly think this could be a razor bump or a ingrown hair try to see if you see a little black dot in the middle which is the hair that is stuck
