    Get tested to be sure. It doesnt look like a herpes bump though. Sometimes an outbreak can be so mild you dont even notice it

    Hi,

    The skin is also red, which implies an inflammatory process. Might be due to the shaving, and the little bump is not Herpes, rather a reaction of the skin.

    Sometimes during shaving we remove this thin protective layer of skin, making the skin more susceptible.
