Can you have a yeast infection without much discharge (instead - red, irritated, burning skin on the vulva, little itchiness)?

I am experiencing vaginal dryness, itching, burning, and abnormal vaginal discharge (itchy, cheesy discharge). My vulva is very tender and red from the irritation. It seems like another yeast infection, which I get very regularly. Why would that be?
