Folliculitis (inflammation of hair root) often caused by strep germs.
You probably need a short course of antibiotics. Your primary care provider can easily handle the task. STD seems unlikely to be the cause.

Doubt herpes: Herpes lesions are unlikely to contain "hard white pus". Probably it was just a pimple. But see your doctor if you remain uncertain.
