Brief Answer:
Should not be too serious. No worries

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the very informative response.

unfortunately , the images were not attached.

these should then not be herpes nor acute bacterial infection. it should be rare to be sexually acquired especially if you have not had unprotected sex lately.

I think you might check simple things like recent change in quality of pants or shaving practice.

I think proper shaving and application of topical agents like local erythromycin ointment could be helpful for about a week.

if it persists you might have to see a doctor.

shave regular with good machine, use pure cotton pants.

Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
