Is it possible to have a yeast infection and only the outside around the clitoris itch? i don't have any other symptoms. just itching.

Yes: Some women with a vaginal infection just have itching or irritation and no obvious discharge. Itching around the clitoris could be yeast, bacterial vaginosis infection, or an irritation reaction to something.
