Possible: What you describe sounds suspicious for herpes, but the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor for an exam and cultures or biopsies, as indicted.

A 23-year-old female asked:
The doctor said Im having a herpes genital outbreak but the bumps arent itchy or sore yet. Im on the antiviral is this maybe why or is it not an outbreak? On inner labia minora?

Mostly yes: Since you were already on an antiviral more than likely the herpes sores will not show through also herpes is painful and not usually itchy.

I have had pebble like bumps in between my labia minor & majora. Nothing squeezes out of them. I have been tested for herpes... came back negative. I have had these bumps for 3 years. What could it be?

Unlikely: If it does not blister first each time and No sexual genital contact, unlikely to be herpes.
If a bump only, is more likely a follicular cyst.
