What Causes Recurrent Red Bump Like Pimple In Pubic Area?

I have had one single red bump that almost appears as a pimple but very large in the same location every time. It appears in the pubic area and a second smaller one has now come and started popping up as well and also grows in the same spot. It always pops on its own due to location of being close to the pant line which rubs and irritates it until it breaks open and leaks out a puss and then bleeds a lot. They both are very hard and hurt very badly. Not sure what it is but I have had unprotected sex, just looking for some advice before I seek medical attention.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to genital herpes. If you send a picture of it then it will be more helpful in identifying. You can go for herpes 1&2 blood test to confirm it. Acyclovir cream locally will be helpful for this. Aloe vera gel is also good.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if any thing not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
