Brief Answer:
Folliculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

Seems like it was a folliculitis which you popped. Doesn't seem like herpes infection. Herpes usually occurs as a cluster of lesions rather than a single one. I suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily for a few days and it should get fine.

Hope I have answered your query.. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
