Hi tracey,
Can you tell us where the photo was taken from? The photo shows multiple discrete lumps that resemble molluscum. Have a close look at them and see if they have a central dimple (attached).

Thanks for this; in which case folliculitis (shaving rash) is an alternative diagnosis, but these tend to be lumps on top of the hair follicle. From the photo you posted, none of the lumps appear to show this, hence this makes molluscum a stronger possibility.

Herpes unlikely- they generally cause ulcers. If you can defo see hair/s sticking out of the lumps then they are likely to be folliculitis.
