Clean with hydrogen: peroxide and apply aquaphor or topical antibiotic ointment twice a day, You can use frozen peas in bag to reduce swelling. If not better in 24 hours from cleaning, then consider seeing doctor

Cut myself shaving on mons pubis, bled profusely, & resulted in a sore. Do herpes sores bleed? No blister, sore was only "open" for a night, tweezed a few hairs out of it it, now it is dry and pink and looks almost like razor burn, just bigger.
