does this sound like herpes

I noticed I had a group of white heads on my inner thigh close to my testicles. The next morning they formed into one big white head and by the next morning it was completely dried up and then by the next day the dead skin fell off. This has happened before but this is the first time I caught it as last time I just noticed the dried up skin.  So all of this was like a total of three days and there was never any oozing or open sores but it just has me worried. Are all herpes out breaks the same or there different versions of it?

No practical chance of this being herpes in that case.

I haven't been with anyone new for a couple of months but there was a girl that was kinda suspect that I messed around with, but that was a couple of months ago.

This doesn't sound like herpes in terms of the lesion, timing or typical location.

Is there sexual activity in the two weeks leading into the appearance of the symptoms?
