Not herpes: Genital herpes doesn't behave at all like this; herpes doesn't cause "hard pus filled" bumps or lesions like boils. This sounds like severe recurrent folliculitis, or maybe a chronic skin condition called hidranitis suppurativa. See a dermatologist, who should be able to diagnose and treat it pretty easily. Good luck!
