You bit your lip two days ago and it was bleeding for a while and the next day it swelled up - today it looks like a blister - what are the chances it could be herpes?
The chances of this being herpes is really very slim. The lips are full of many tiny blood vessels, which when broken or burst (as in being biten), will bleed a lot, and then swell considerably. The "blister" is probably where the lip can't form the normal type of scab that a sore on any other part of your body could, largely due to constant moisture and movement (talking, eating, drinking, etc.). You can use ice or a cold compress to help the swelling, and take aspirin to help the inflammation, too. You can also use an antibiotic cream to help prevent/treat any infection. I really wouldn't be concerned about it being herpes, unless you have kissed someone who has herpes since you bit your lip. If that's the case, or if you are still excessively concerned, see your doctor.
