This site usually helps me with medical questions. Here's the link to the genital herpes overview. Maybe it might help you figure out what you have. You could also look up boils while you're there too. Oh they also have the "Symptom Checker" which is pretty cool to figure out what might be wrong with you for anything.
go to the doctor man, cant hurt
i think it is a boil...
sometimes youll see boil in underarm and in thigh
Symptoms of herpes usually develop within 2 to 20 days after contact with the virus, although it could take longer. These symptoms may last up to several weeks, varying from one person to the next. In many people, the first infection is so mild that it goes unnoticed. In others, the first attack causes visible sores. Even so, subsequent recurrences of the disease may cause lesions. When the sores are completely healed, the active phase of infection is over. Healing of the skin usually leaves no scars. In either case, the virus retreats into the nervous system and lies dormant.
Generally with herpes, you are exposed to the virus and then within 2-20 days you have an outbreak, if you are going to get them. Most people don't get the outbreaks though; only the unlucky few do.

So with that said and the fact that you haven't had sex in awhile, I'd say it's boils. Or ingrown hairs.
