I think this could be herpes but probably is not. It's probably blocked pores that you've aggravated by popping. They sound too individual to be herpes, which causes blisters that are grouped together. I advise you to stop popping the spots, to apply an antibiotic like bacitracin or neosporin daily, and to await the results of the test, which is very likely to be negative. If you even get similar spots again, please leave them alone and show your doctor right away for another swab. Also, you can wait 3 months and get a herpes 2 blood test, just for extra assurance, if you want.
Best.
