bump in pubic area. hopefully razor burn or ingrown hair?

i am a male, 24 yrs old.....i recently shaved and 2 small bumps appeared in my pubic area a couple days later. one went away in about 2 weeks and the other has been here for about a month. I did try to pop that one and thats why i think it has stayed so long. no blood came out and i dont think anything else came out either, unless maybe some clear discharge. the last time i had sex was about 2 years ago, but i did receive oral from a girl a few/couple weeks before...
I hope it's just razor burn or whatever or maybe ingrown hairs because one of them FOR SURE had a hair growing out of it in the middle and the other bigger one that has stayed longer had a hair growing out of it i believe, but not directly in the middle....

Please help? any insight to what this might be?
thank you.

sounds more like folliculitis... Herpes questions should be asked in the Herpes forum

Do herpes or any other kind of std bumps look like pimples?
Because mine is red with the middle slightly white (looks like a small pimple). It doesn't hurt or anything. hmmmm

thank you both for your responses.

Its not cauliflowered at all. It looked like a pimple so thats why i popped it. It's red and has a white tip in the middle but the white tip is pretty small..
The bump is located on my waistline too, so it seems kind of high up...

well you're probably right it probably stayed longer due to you picking at it... you should never pick at things.

it could be just a bump, we do as humans get bumps from time to time. it could be HPV, you don't describe it very well, if it looks coliflowered then HPV could be the issue.

We can't tell you what it is as we can't diagnose you over the internet, your best option would be to see a doctor or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.

oral is a low risk exposure, you were a low risk for HSV, Gono, Syphilis

Your bumps do not sound STD  related at this time. herpes or hpv will not just go away a couple of days later. I have had bumps in my pubic area  after shaving and immediatly got inflamed ingrown hairs. I Would bet you, that those bumps are from shaving. bumps can last months.. If you are worried i would go to a dermatologist to have it checked out.

Remember bumps could be many things often not STD related.
