I have no way of attaching photos, I do not know her sexual history, and yes the did appear after shaving. I could send photos with my cell phone. I have only had the lessions for about a week.

The day after I had sex with her,,,the area felt tingly, warm, the slightly itchy.

Brief Answer:
May be due to folliculitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

It is likely due to folliculitis after shaving.STDs may be unlikely with long period after exposure and distribution described.
Wear loose cotton inner wears.
See that there is no friction or irritation.
You can apply topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin after consulting your doctor.
You can go for STDs tests to relieve your anxiety.
You can get back with clear photos for clarification.
Thank you
