Herpes typically looks much different from razor bumps. The bumps of herpes are smaller than typical folliculitis, and are generally grouped closer together. Razor bumps are normally larger and widespread. See your health care provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of your symptoms, and get screened for STDs at the same time.
Herpes typically present as blisters. Sometimes they can present as paper cuts. The best way to determine what you have is to have it cultured by a doctor. That is where they will take a swap of the area and see what grows.
