Herpes are small blisters that break very easily&scab,are painful&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.

The eruption of herpes often has a blisterlike appearance& may be uncomfortable. It is treated with antiviral medications. Folliculitis (bacterial infection of hair follicles) is common in the pubic area and does look like pimples and may have tiny pus as well. It's treated with antibiotics. It's best to have a physician examine &advise you when you have a cluster breakout.
