I am scared

So I shaved my genital area tonight and noticed two little red bumps one right where my underwear is and one closer towards my lips. I didn't even know they were there until I shaved. I have never had anything like this down there. I shave every week or so. Is it an ingrown hair or herpes? I am sexualy active. I have been with the same guy for over a year and a half, but did have a few more sex partners in the past. I have never had anything down there like this and I am also under a lot of stress right now. I have started to read up on herpes and ingrown hair and honestly I not sure which is which.

This is most probably a case of fooliculitis.Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.
