Now that four doctors have given you the same answer that I'm going to give you and I bet every doctor here at HealthTap would also give you, the real question is WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU? Fear of illness or abnormality or having a negative self-image at an age where you are healthier, better looking, and have a sharper mind than you ever will again is what should concern you. My answer is NO!

What you described is not a cause for concern. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
