hi
there is very rare chance of herpes on thigh as it is sexually transmitted main lesion occur over genital
if u have no sexual exposure then there is no chance of herpes so dont worry,
what u have is folliculitis means hair root infection
it is common in this season
u need to apply antibiotic cream twice a day
take antibiotic tab and analgesic tab
better to consult doctor
never pick or popped it as it will increase spread and infection
