Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.You should be worried but not too much.

I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic. In the first meeting, I advise my patients to apply heparin ointment(Thrombophob)-small amounts or Pilex ointment with light massage.

Please let me know if you have further questions before meeting your primary care Doctor.
