genital hsv1 outbreak

I was diagnosed with genital hsv1 mid March of last year. Since the original episode I haven't had much of a problem with it. But last night I found a single slightly itchy bump right inside my labia majora (kinda where hair grows still). It's not painful at all and doesn't even itch anymore. I have PROTECTED sex and I take Valtrex daily. So I was thinking this is a hsv1 outbreak and not a hsv2 original episode. (When I was tested for hsv1 I came back negative for hsv2) I also feel fine in general. when I was diagnosed with genital hsv1 I felt very sick. Headache, stuffy, achey etc.
so I just want opinions on what someone else thinks! (I know a test would prove anything and everything but before I jump to those measures I rather ask here) thanks!

I would seriously doubt it. Some people have hsv1 orally and hsv2 genitally but both in one spot would be very rare if ever.

Not hsv2 though? I have no integer symptoms. And I've always had protected sex? So?

Thats why I believe it to be something else.

I was diagnosed by a doctor through a physical exam and swab test. When I was initially diagnosed YES they were so painful. I know few people have outbreaks after the initial but I could be part of the few? This one I have now does not hurt at all and hasn't given me a problem besides the fact it's there.

How were you diagnosed? Did you have painful lesions? Hsv1 has few outbreaks and some women never get another outbreak. You may have a small outbreak going on but it sounds more like a small pimple or other bump.
