Yesterday I've started noticing a mini red bump near my clitoris, and today I felt another to the right of my vagina.
I've only had one sexual partner, and the last time I had sex was 3 weeks ago. Is it possible that I have herpes?
Please help :(

It's possible, yes. However, since you're 16, I'm wondering how old your partner is and how many people he/she has been with. I take it you're not his/her first. But if they've only been with two or three (young) people, the odds are good you don't have it.
Even if you do, don't freak out. HSV-2 (genital herpes) is EXTREMELY common, and the majority of people who get it don't even manifest symptoms (if you did have an outbreak, it's usually more severe than one or two red bumps). The fact is, if you have a long, sexually active life, chances are better than even that you're probably going to get it sooner or later. And it's not a big deal. You can get tested when you have what appears to be an outbreak.
Good luck, and don't worry too much!
