What is this?

sorry for the bad pic, ive had this almost rash with a few bumps for 2 days now. it started with just one large lump that spread. its quite itchy and hurts when i touch it or when i walk. i had sex two weeks ago with someone new but i have recently been shaving with a very old rusty razor (it has been binned) and i think i remember cutting myself in the spot where the first lump appeared but i cant fully remember. i am very worried. my thoughts are its either a razor burn or focculitis or herpes. I'm so worried that its herpes but i have had no other symtoms, however, i was ill with tonsilitis last week. does anyone know what this is?? i will go to the doctors i just havent had time atm. please help!!

    looks herpes like to me. Too big, IMO to be razor burn. Schedule and appointment to get a swab and blood tests today if you can.

      to me, the bumps look bigger than a razor burn. I am not a herpes professional but to me it looks very herpetic. Also not the clearest picture to go by.
