“Do I have herpes?”
For the past couple of months, I've gotten bumps after shaving on the left side of my penis and a few other spots. I don’t have any symptoms other than that, no itching, no pain. It doesn’t hurt to pee. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I shaved and this time they were worse. I don’t know why but I popped one of them and it’s just red now. I’m afraid this is herpes.

Given the lack of a complete examination, it doesn't look like herpes. A look by a PCP or a urologist would be a good idea.
The real likelihood is that you are either shaving too closely, going in wrong direction, shaving too frequently, or with a dull enough razor…You can then irritate the hair follicles and/or get an infection in the follicle which sounds like it has already occurred! See a Dermatologist.
