Accepted Answer

: Herpes are small blisters that break very easily&amp;scab,are painful&amp;come in clusters.The pubic location is also good for it. 
If they are real tiny acne-looking ‘pimples’, it may be folliculitis.Some are pierced by a hair, not in clusters, red around and just tender. 
Anything you pick at, will bleed.
Remember:Herpes is contagious, it can become recurrent, medication will suppress it.
