Hi,

Localized pus is infection. The possibilities are infection from outside or from inside. Herpes virus lives in nerves and pops out it would be mostly on ONE side and not both. There would be pain. Infection from skin germs is due to individual factors not usually related to cleanliness.

10% of people have germs that can cause infection on their skin 90% have germs on the skin that cannot live INSIDE the skin nor cause infection. It's a bit more likely if diabetic. Skin germs are not in any way an STD. Sexual activity that breaks the skin might trigger it BUT much more common is shaving triggers it, and not shaving stops it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
