“Do I have herpes?”
Since I was younger my lips have been getting these little itches bumps on them. When I itched it burns. Still, as I get older they still seem to appear maybe every 2 weeks. Not sure what it is or what to do.

It is possible that you could be having a herpes out break on your face. Every 2 weeks is very frequent. I would try managing your stress levels, try some L-Lysine up to 6 grams daily during an outbreak and 2 grams a day when not having the bumps. If they do not improve, you should see a doctor to get properly diagnosed and to possible get the right medication to prevent further outbreaks such as valacyclovir.
Maybe. See a doctor.
