Herpes? Or what else?

About a week ago I got a small whitish bump on the outer lip of my vagina. I assumed it was maybe a pimple at first, but now not only is it bleeding, but it's become swollen into a bump around the bump that was already there and it both itches and kinda hurts. Does this sound like Herpes, or what else could this be?

Also, Try googling fordyce spots and see if it looks like that... but still get this checked out by your provider .

Did you try to pop the "Pimple" and that is why it bleed? This could be many things... and you need to make an apt. to get it checked out it may be too late for an accurate culture but you can at least get a professional opinion... and you could also get a blood test (IGG) for herpes.

If you've had unprotected sex then this is something you should consider. Let us know how things go  =)
