Unlikely: There are some contagious things this could be, it however, does not sound like herpes. On the other hand this can be anything from an ingrown hair to syphilis based on the description. It may be embarrassing, but this is something you need to get checked. If you don't want to see your doctor I'm sure you can find a walk in clinic you don't normally use. Just be open and honest.
