This could easily be folliculitis, Ryan, a mild bacterial infection of the hair follicle. The condom on all night could definitely have made things worse, for sure. The pimple on your butt is probably just that, a pimple, as herpes lesions don't normally have yellow pus in them, but rather very often clear fluid.
If the hair follicle bumps are getting better and fading without ever rupturing, that's a very good thing. Herpes is by no means limited to hair follicles, it is on normal skin and have no relationship to hair follicles. I hope it continues to get much better in the next few days!

I'm sorry for all the inquiries. One last thing to note, in addition to the info above; I noticed yesterday a pimple on the lower side of my butt (between my butt and leg). It had yellow puss head like a pimple, but the yellow part filled the most of the top with no point. It was about half the size of a pea. It has since popped and now burns. It is like a radiating or pulsating burn, although I'm probably fixated on it. It’s a single pimple (no clusters). I don’t know if this is an important fact or not, but this all has me very, very concerned.
Lastly, the inflamed hair follicles on my penis ( from my posts above) are no longer red and they are shrinking. They are hardly noticeable and they never ulcerated – just shrank.
I would greatly appreciate your professional advice. Thank you
Hi,
Three things to add to my above description;
1) Althought these bumps are located in my pubic hair, they are located about an inch down the shaft of my penis. The fact that I have a litte hair there seems to cause problems and irritation of the hair folicles when having sex. Is this common or have you heard of this before? It seems weird to me that these hair follicles seem to only get irritated when having sex with new partners. Maybe new bacteria?
2) This was the first time that I had sex with this person. I hadn't had sex for 5 months prior.
3) I fell asleep with the condom on, which may have further exasperated the problem since the elastic part of the condom sat on the spot where I have the irritation
with this all said, I am still a little concerned. I appreciate your insight
