Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Don't poke!: It may be a nutritional deficiency - possibly bacterial or viral - but not likely if long term and w/o other symptoms. You might want to see your Dr for eval if they trouble you. Iron, zinc, Vit Bs and C foods can help - Fish, shellfish, poultry, legumes, peppers, leafy and cruciform veggies, nuts - all good!
