What's the ikelihood off a red bump being a herpes sore?

Hello everyone, i am a male who had sex for the first time in mid October and about mid December I noticed there was a bump in my genital area. At the time I also had gotten really sick just a fever which I was able to sweat out. After i got better the bump was still there which was about 2 weeks after I can't lie I was messing with it because I usually get flesh colored cysts but this was red. So I noticed there was hair around it and like an idiot I pulled the hair and blood and pus came out of the bump. About a month later 2 more bumps appear. The first bump and one of the new ones is in my pubic hair area and another is on my inner thigh. Both of the ones in my pubic hair area have begun to heal but they didn't crust over it looks like when you get a carpet burn and the scab comes off early the skin is still healing over it I can also see hair growing out of them still. The one on my inner thigh though is just bright red and I'm gonna observe it to see if it becomes a ulcer. I can't get STD tested anytime soon because I'm in college without a car and my parents live in another state. I don't believe my symptoms sound like herpes but I know there can be different variations, if someone can give me some insight I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance

The odds of this being herpes from what you describe is zero as herpes dont have puss, dont show up that long after exposure, dont last that long, and if touched and opened would spread in a cluster grouping and would be painful like blister sores.
Have a test if your concerned
