After overusing a menthol-based oil to treat a herpes outbreak, I noticed that, at the crease of my clitoral hood (where the outbreak was), there was some loose skin forming a two-tined fork. The area was also extremely dry, very red, and rather sore. When I passed my finger over it, I could move the loose skin up and down (still can). I stopped using the oil, and the area has improved but not completely (after four weeks). My PCP recommended Aquaphor, and my OB/GYN didn't take it seriously.
