thanks for your help. iv not since had any more growths and they seem to be subsiding, hopefully was just from the shaveing.
This doesn't sound like syphilis, and you wouldn't get syphilis symptoms within a few days - they usually don't appear for at least a few weeks, sometimes longer.
It could be folliculitis, herpes, a fungal infection, etc. When you call the doctor, let them know you have sores, and need to be seen within a day or two, at most.
