You should give him multivitamin for 15 days aling with oracep gel for local application, if still persists or recurs it needs to be evaluated with detailed history, examination and investigations.

Use lidocaine gel if there is pain. If no improvement after 7- 10 days consult a surgeon. He may recommend a biopsy.
