Not Clear What is Going On

[yoy]

32 yr old male- I was in a wooded area the other day.   the next morning I found what I thought was a tick in my pubic hair.  It was located down near the base of the penis, but not on the penis.  I have had tick bites before and it did not worry me. I removed it as it should be.  I noticed what appeared to be an infected hair folicle over to one side closer to the thigh more than 6 inches away.  I was not concerned.  That night, I noticed a red bump on my scrotum.  It does not appear to be a blister, but maybe it is early.  The bump is raised, cicle shaped, red and smaller that a pencil eraser. I noticed no other ticks.  I looked at the area where the tick was and it looked like there were bumps there, but then I may have been over thinking things.  I have been sexually actice, using condoms, but then I thought this is an unproected area.  I had a neg HSV2 test a month ago.  HSV1 positive, but I have had cold sores as a kid so it was not a concern.  

Does sound like herpes?

Thanks for the clarification.  My opinion, however, doesn't change

If the bump got smaller over night, not larger, and didn't blister, it doesn't sound like genital herpes, though only a professional evaluation will give you a clear answer.  Do you live in a part of country where Lyme disease is an issue?

Just to clarify- the bump did not appear to change over night, it may have gotten slightly smaller.  And last sexual activity was less than two weeks ago protected
