Have A Painless Sore In Pubic Region Which Is Healing. Can It Be Due To Folliculitis Or Herpes?

I have a sore in my pubic region that's lasted for 6 days now and is beginning to heal. It didn't present with much pain though I noticed that it surfaced where a lot of friction occurs. The sore itself is like a crater, turns white when i shower, and is relatively painless. I'm wondering if this is a result of folliculitis, or something more concerning like a herpes or chancre.
