Agree with Dr. B: Try an emollient and if that does not resolve the matter in a week or so, it would be prudent to see a doctor to rule out issues Dr. B mentioned. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
