    it doesn't look like it to me. does it itch or hurt at all? herpes blisters usually burst and they really do cause a lot of discomfort. to me yours looks like a rash.

    the rash stings but no blisters or itching. feels like chafed skin but the location of it scares me

    in my opinion its likely a rash from living wet chlorine filled under wear on for the night, herpes sores are painful and can last for weeks. if this resolves itself in a short amount of time, thats even less reason to worry.
