Possible herpes or other STD symptoms?

About two weeks ago I had sex with a CSW and wore a condom. Today I found a relatively big pimple on my penis filled with a good amount of thick white puss. The pimple was at the base of my shaft and I'm pretty sure it was covered during the intercourse. I shaved the area a little over 2 weeks ago so it could be ingrown hairs. Could this be an STD symptom?

Hi, yes in all likely hood its an infected hair folicle as no std including herpes or syphilis appear as a puss filled sore.

Ok, thank you. It is painless but turned purple after popping it. Hopefully that's what it is.
Update: today I have two small pimples close to one another on my pubic mound.  I noticed one of them a few days ago and now there is another next to it. It doesn't really hurt unless I touch it extensively. Could this be herpes?
