Long story short I squeezed it white pus came out but I know herpes differ from person to person could it be? It’s sore obviously cause I squeezed and keep messing with it but it’s one bump and it did have a hair in about a two weeks ago I pulled it out but the little bump was still there until I squeezed it! What do you guys think!?!

    does not look like herpes, especially pus. pus is more associated with infected ingrown hairs. and picking at it and squeezing will only make it worse. and that it was only that one bump makes it more reasonable to be an infected or irritated follicle.
