Get to a doctor ASAP.
If you haven't had unprotected sex more than likely it is NOT an STD and you'd have nothing to worry about.
But if you have done the deed without a condom (they're not always fool-proof), there's a possibility it IS an STD, such as herpes or genital warts. From your symptoms it sounds as though it may be herpes, although I am not a doctor and am not trying to play one, just giving my opinion. Below I have included a link of graphic pictures of what it looks like.

And it IS called a Sexually Transmitted DISEASE still, NOT an infection. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
HPV (genital warts) and Herpes and HIV/AIDS are all DISEASES, not infections. You can't ever get rid of them, just medicines available to alleviate them when there are flare-ups. Or laser surgery to remove the bothersome warts if they get too out of hand.

I try and use diaper rash cream/ointment every single time I change my baby's diaper. However, I have used Vaseline once or twice just to see if it makes any difference and I found that Vaseline is just as good as diaper rash cream or ointment and the best part about it is that it's also much cheaper than diaper rash cream! How about that for some good news? As far as baby powder is concerned, I have read in a baby magazine recently that newborns and infants can easily inhale that stuff and possibly choke on it. Not good! I guess it all depends on how much powder you actually use. It's a shame too because I bought quite a few bottles of baby powder before my baby was born.

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about five years back, whilst I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I understand loads of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/xDyyf everything changed.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This method provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

Pus isn't clear. It might be a really bad yeast infection or a fungal infection. It is not necessarily a STD, although if u r having unprotected sex, that is a possibility also. Go to a dr and find out for sure.

Please see a doctor. STDs are much more common than you might think and you have nothing to be embarrassed out. It might not even be an STD. It could even be a bad reaction to a new laundry detergent that ended up getting infected. Don't fret, but please have it checked out, you'll drive yourself batty worrying about it.

ok...could be ingrown hairs...i get em all the time and they suck!!!
the hair follicle can get infected when the hair doesnt break through the skin properly. gets infected can ooze oil or puss. often times it will seem like its going away but if you irritate it....it can come back worse. it can also turn into a boil ( will get a pussy center and once it pops there will be a huge hole left) if you have been sexually active you should just be on the safe side and get checked. (every 6 months!!)

Could be an STD, or it could be a reaction to new laundry detergent. Either way, you should have a Dr. look at it.

If you've had sexual intercourse before, then it's most likely an STI. (The term STD is not longer used because they deemed that it's not a disese but an infection.)
