Hello and welcome to HCM,
On the basis of clinical history given by you, the lesions appear to be boils or folliculitis and not herpes.
Herpes is characterized by a crop or group of fluid filled and painful vesicles.
However, a clinical assessment of the lesions is required to diagnose the condition and thus proper management can be done.
Thanks and take care
