Hello
Thank you for asking the question.
red bump over clitoris and pus discharge from it indicates probably sebaceous cyst. if it is painful then inflammation may occurred in it. it is subside by its own, if not treatment is required. warming the area with any material may helpful to you.
regarding herpes, it occurs by herpes simplex virus. whenever it occurs, it is very painful, burning sensation, itching etc symptoms occurs. you are not experiencing these type of symptoms, so possibility is less.
my advice is that if there is change in size of lump, there is change in discharge, pain or itching/burning sensation then immediately consult the doctor. otherwise no need to worry.
hope this will helpful to you.
