Hi Mee,
I don't think it is herpes. I think more likely it is a staph infection.
You shaved and it opens up the skin and you scratched. Staph, a bacteria on all of us, got into the follicle and caused a minor infection - folliculitis.
Don't keep scratching. You can use an over the counter antibiotic cream to help reduce the infection. Try to keep the area clean and dry.
