What are these? Acne or Herpes or Molluscum ?

I am having these tiny bumps for last 5-6 months.They start very tiny and gradually they get bigger being red.Then small whitehead tends to appear and after some days pus comes out. Sometimes after one pus outcome second whitehead appears on the same place and pus comes out.They do pain when touched otherwise no pain.Sometime two small red bumps appear side by side and they get bigger.I had acne before but not of this kind.They appear on forehead and between eyebrows sometimes.I am 24,male,62 kg or 155 lbs ,never had any sexual encounter or kissing.I don't exercise much....i visited a gp and he prescribed over the counter med...but that helps decreasing single bump but not the outbreak...i think i should go to a dermatologist.Do they look like herpes or molluscum as I found on internet?...I've added a pic on my profile if you want to have a look.

It's not herpes - not on your forehead. It could be acne. It might be molluscum, but it doesn't look like it. I think you should definitely see a dermatologist. If all you've ever done is kiss someone, I wouldn't focus on STDs as the cause.

It could be a lot of different things, but let us know when you find out. Good luck!
