I dont know if I have a canker sore or herpes

I have had chapped lips and then there was a small white bump on the middle of my lip. I did not feel any tingling or sensations. I put vaseline on and the whiteness of the bump went away. Is it normal to get a canker sore on the middle of your lip? Do I have herpes because i have this bump where it is? I have never had blisters with puss or anything that looks like herpes.

Herpes don't have puss.  They are filled with clear liquid, and they hurt - a LOT.  They feel awful for a few days, like you got punched in the lip.
