What Could Watery Sores On Pubic Hair Suggest?

Hello,I recently had a sore came up around my pubic hair area. The next day another one came about. I begin to see little small bumps popping up also. The sores are open and watery like, but I have no symptoms of fever, headache or muscle cramps. Could this be anything else besides herpes?
