You may watch and wait. If the patch more than doubles in size, bleeds, ulerates, other patches develop, you get fever or lose weight, see a doctor. 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 vaccine. Wish you good health!

This could be a psoriatic patch developing. Check your scalp to see if there is any signs of psoriasis present. Does it itch? Other possibility might be lichen plannus. You may want to have a dermatologist or podiatrist check to see .
