could it be herpes?

ok so i was diagnosed the other day with chlamydia after i went to the doctor about these places on my genitals. the doctor said it looked like herpes and I'm still waiting on the results. the spots are random and not in clusters like every other picture i have seen. and the places pop the keep filling up with pus and a little blood. they don't itch or hurt exept after the pop open for a little while then stops. could this be herpes or is it just part of the chlamydia infection?

Chlamydia wouldn't cause that, no. Were the spots swabbed for herpes or was blood drawn?  Personally, Id still have an IGG for HSV1 and HSV2. Visual diagnoses are just that, visual diagnoses, and swab testing can actually miss some infections due to the amount of time a lesion has been present. Test ONLY 12-16 weeks after your last sexual encounter. You can test at your doctors office or at a planned parenthood. Keep us posted on your results. Good luck!
