Brief Answer:
Need physical evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
If the pustule has occurred again i suggest you to have a physical examination by a dermatologist to know any underlying cause of the recurrence. It is very difficult to rule out the cause just by the image or query.
Once the cause is know it can be treated accordingly.
Do follow up after your consultation with your dermatologist.
Take care.
