Q. An 18-year-old woman comes to the physician's office for multiple vulvar lesions for the past 1 month. She says that they are painless, nonpruritic, and not associated with vaginal discharge. She does not have a fever, abdominal pain, or urinary disturbances. Her menstrual history is normal. She has been sexually active with her boyfriend for the past 2 years. She denies smoking, alcohol, and drug abuse. Her temperature is 98.6°F (37°C), pulse is 90/min, blood pressure is 110/80 mmHg, and respirations are 14/min. Physical examination shows non-tender flesh-colored small raised lesions in groups on labia majora and labia minora. The anal region is unaffected. Rest of the examination is unremarkable. What is the best next step in her management?
