Can Herpes Cause Red Painless Bump With White Head On Mons Pubis?

I have a red painless bump with white head on mons pubis. No pain or discharge when squeezed and one on other side but not red at all just raised. Could these have any likelihood of being herpes? They are in an area I frequently shave. I am worried because I have read about misdiagnosing herpes to be pimples.
