Needs an exam: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. Herpes usually causes painful, irritated sores and not bumps. A gynecologist will need to visualize what you are seeing to make a diagnosis.

Do herpes blisters always burst or does being on the antiviral prevent that? Ive had these bumps on inner labia for a few days and was told herpes but no pain or bursting yet. Could they be cysts instead?
