Brief Answer:
It may be from a superimposed infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

As per your attached picture everything seems to be normal.
Where the bump is because I don't see anything,your labia minora doesn't appear
Please upload another picture with that bump.

While three doctors have confirmed that you haven't herpes infection ,why do you insist that you have this one infection.
Exact diagnosis of herpes simplex can be done only by inspection of the affected area.

If the bump is sore and doctors have excluded herpes infection have Sitz baths and local creams with corticoides.

All the best
