is it herpes outbreak or a yeast infection????

I got herpes 10 years ago and haven't had an outbreak since. For the past two months I have been having a hwite discharge and alot of burning. Twice the doctor told me it was a yeast infection but when I treated it it didn't go away, it did seem to relieve my symptoms but then it would come right back. can't tell if the burning is from a yeast infection or herpes, it's been going on for two months now. I know herpes doesn't last that long. The next two times I went to the dr. he said he didn't see yeast or anything but I had burning. Once he did see some small cuts on my vagina but said yeast infections can do that? During a herpes outbreak is there any discharge? Does it cause a yeast infection? Has anyone had this type of experience not knowing if it's yeast or herpes? It's really stressing me out.

Genital Herpes or yest infection?

Hi amy28,

Not sure what that might be, it's definitely too long to have symptoms for a Genital Herpes outbreak. Why don't you go to an STD clinic an dget some tests taken, as your gp doesn't seem to have a clue what he's doing.

Kind regards,
