Q: can herpes feel like a yeast infection? can you only have herpes inside your vagina and none on the outside?

: Indeed there can be similar symptoms for yeast and herpes and herpes outbreaks can occur in the vagina without lesions on the outside. However, this is very unlikely and yeast is far more likely than herpes in this situation.
