    I commented on your other post as well, but I'll say again that this really does not appear typical of herpes. Herpes sores typically begin as blisters on the skin that eventually break open and weep a clear fluid. Your tears appear very dry, and the photo with the bump also doesn't look like herpes, as herpes sits on the surface of the skin, it doesn't really produce firm bumps coming from within the skin, as it appears is your issue. Get into the OBGYN as soon as you're able. Even though I'd put money on this not being herpes, if it is, the best way to know is to get a swab of a fresh "lesion". Look into vulva skin disorders, that seems to be more likely what you're dealing with here.
