Needs evaluation: Your symptom has a long list of causes. Your physician will need to examine you and is likely to need to order some tests to define the problem. Until that happens, the problem will persist. Please make an appt with your physician

Exam: You actually need to be examined since the causes are multiple: you may have an irritation, inflammation or some low grade infection. My advice to to seek medical attention because without an exam or photo, it is impossible to diagnose.
