Is this herpes?

So I popped a pimple around my lower left lip but not exactly on the lip. A white substance came out which then I was relieved but then I went to sleep & woke up with a yellow substance in the middle of what was so called a pimple but around it was so red & swollen. But now it has a scab on it which the head of the scab looks clear. I was wondering is this a cold sore? Is this the start of herpes?

This is the second time you've asked the same exact question and now Life360dave has given you the same answer.
You don't seem to believe the answers your getting. I ended the last thread with please go see your Dr if you are still concerned and that's where this one ends as well. You have to understand we are an online forum and you would be better served to have your Dr take a look.

Yea I know but does it matter if the scab is clear & looks like there's clear liquid in it after popping a pimple, well days after popping a pimple.
I just checked it again & now I see yellow crusting on it. I'm so scared that it's herpes. It does sound like it right?
