What Is The Difference Between Sores Of Herpes And Yeast Infection?
What’s the difference between a herpes outbreak and an outbreak from a bad yeast infection? I have these small dots around my vag/lips and they’ve been there for over 2 weeks. They don’t hurt, aren’t oozing, don’t have a white head or anything else like that. They don’t look like the normal herpe sores that you would get according to google.

Hi,
Herpes presents with tiny fluid-filled blisters that are very painful and break to form superficial erosions that heal in 2-3 weeks.
On the other hand, yeast infection presents with tiny itchy bumps and superficial erosions which show scaling. According to your complaints, you don’t seem to be having herpes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
