just now developing these bumps. Could it be herpes?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
You can remain asymptomatic for a long time even after you acquire the infection. The symptoms of red bumps, vaginal pain suggests chances of infection. Do not ignore your symptoms. It is difficult to comment on the exact cause for your symptoms without examining you and going ahead with further evaluation (urine analysis, vaginal swab/smear test). Get started on treatment as indicated by examination findings and investigation results to help you control the symptoms. Drink plenty of water. Take adequate rest. Maintain healthy diet and lifestyle. If infective cause is detected, get your partner also treated simultaneously, and avoid having intercourse while being on treatment to prevent chances of re-infection. Avoid vaginal douching, or use of harsh soap or perfumes in the area. Use loose cotton undergarments and avoid use of tight fitting clothes. Be in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately.
Take care.
