I have a red bump in the dip of my cupids bow, its just a small red bump and theres no pus or anything. i don't know if its herpes or acne i'm crying!

Stop crying: I'm betting it's an infected hair. Watch it and consider putting a warm compress in place. If it's not better in two weeks, get seen. If it's not really painful, it's almost certainly not herpes.
