What is this?

I recently had sex and these bumps showed up a few days later. I also shaved right before the bumps showed up so that could be it. I had also used the razor a couple times before so it wasn't new. I have no pain and no sensations. I've had the bumps for about 7 days now. They're starting to clear up. None of them have scabs like they say herpes should. They just reduce in size. The shrinkage happens over night so I'm not sure if they busted open or not. It looks like they're just shrinking. They're so small I cant tell if they're filled with clear, white, or red fluid. It looks like it could be either one depending on the lighting. I set up an appointment to get it looked at in a few days. They were all booked up I couldn't be seen earlier. By the time they see me the culture test won't be as accurate and the bumps may be gone completely. Like I said I'm going to get checked but I would just like to have a second opinion considering herpes test can be inaccurate and someone who has and is familiar with herpes might be able to help me better than a doctor. I've heard of misdiagnosis. I'm used to getting bumps after shaving but I've never had as many. They're so small its hard for me to tell what it is but if you zoom in on the picture they kind of look like ulcers. They are spread pretty far apart. They're not in clusters. Most of them have hair growing out of them but some don't. The most prominent one is the one on the top right of my groin picture. If you zoom in it looks like an ulcer. But if I put my flash on it and look at it with my naked eye it just looks like a pimple. I'm praying that it's just folliculitis Please help!
