Skin rash or possible STD?

Last week I noticed a small pea-sized flat bump had formed on the inside of my thigh, just around the area of my underwear line. I didn't pay any attention to it thinking it was a pimple or something. Then yesterday, I noticed that it formed into a dried crater-like shape. It's still the same size, but when I touch it, it feels like a crater. It doesn't hurt, there doesn't appear to be any fluid coming from it at all and it's the same color as my skin. What could it possibly be? A skin rash maybe? Could it be an STD? I've been with my boyfriend for about a year and a half and prior to that, neither of us had had many sexual partners. I'm quite worried..any advice?

Hi crish_crish, welcome!

If I were you I'd have the place looked at by a doctor for a professional opinion. It might be nothing, but then again... You might as well make full use of the office visit and while there be tested for STIs as well, just for peace of mind. Better safe than sorry, right? Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
