Shaving can cause bumps - called folliculitis (irritated/infected hair follicles). Still, the only way to know what's going on is to be seen by your provider. Since you no longer have symptoms, and you want to know your herpes status, go and get an IgG type specific blood test, or wait until you have symptoms again and be seen within 48 hours for a swab/culture.
