I had intercourse two days ago and this patch showed up today. There is no itching, however, and there is no difference in the way it looks from the other side. The right side has the dryness but the left does not but they look the same. Lately i have been under a lot of stress, so i dont knkw if it could be that. I have attached pictures of it
Brief Answer:
Encircle the patches in picture

Hi
Thanks for uploading the picture.
In the picture I am not able to appreciate any spots, I would suggest you to encircle it in picture.
As such the pictures are fine, I don't thinks there is anything that you should with about.
Take care.

Thank you for responding so quickly! I also cant see anything but i have circled about where i feel this dryness. Im thinking about getting a vaginal cream from Walgreens or something of the sorts. Is that the best choice?

Hi
Thanks for providing the picture.
I don't think there is anything suspicious from the picture. I would suggest you not to worry, relax you are fine.
If you feel that area is dry, you can apply any over the counter moisturizer cream to it and observe. Apart from that no other medication is needed.
Hope this helps.
