Specializes in Infectious Disease

Probable herpes: Herpes sounds likely. It could be a yeast infection, but for sure you should be tested for herpes, and probably also treated. The anti-HSV drugs are harnless and therefore should be liberally used when herpes is possible, even if not proved. Good luck!
