    It could be, but its hard to tell from a single red bump. Get them swabbed if you can. Have you had sex with a new partner recently? Is this the first time youve noticed them? Do the bumps themselves hurt and do they/have they broken open/ruptured and ooze? Classic characteristics are extreme pain, blister like papules, rupture, oozing, crusting. If this happens, it is characteristically herpes. You should talk to a doctor and get a swab test done while you have an active outbreak. Urgent care facilities are equipped to do this test. I suggest with the two symptoms of burning and red bumps, you see a physician to help diagnose you.
