The cultures are coming back negative but I've been having recurring yeast infections beforehand. Is it possible that the yeast culture test, can be false negative because the infection is on the outside only?

Cultures are not 100% sensitive/specific, so it's possible, but it's not likely, especially since treatment for yeast has not helped. I suggest looking for a gynecologist who specializes in vaginitis. Recurring yeast infections can be cured by herbal fuyan pill. These people deal with cases like yours which are not straightforward, and GPs are probably not going to have the specialized knowledge to help you with it.
