hi, shaving over the genital area sometimes causes rashes due to irritation caused on the skin, or it could be folliculitis. since you are excluding the possibility of sexual intercourse, herpes infection is ruled out. please see your dermataologist for the diagnosis and treatment. you may need antibiotics and local applicants. all the best.
