Brief Answer:
Yes it is Herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your question and also the clinical image you uploaded.

Yes, The provisional diagnosis is herpes progenitalis. It is an inflammatory skin disease caused by a herpesvirus and characterized by formation of small vesicles.
Antibody titre and Tzanck smear can be done for confirmation of diagnosis.
Antiviral drug should be taken as early as possible.

Hope this will help you.
Thanks.
