Brief Answer: probably scar Detailed Answer: Hello Don't worry it's not STD. STD won't remain like that for 7 months. I believe its scar. You can use a silicon based anti scar cream like contratubex or vaniza. This will give you good relief. Yes dryness of skin can develop even in thigh region. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you

Brief Answer: not STD Detailed Answer: Hello Yes she is correct on that. It cannot be an STD. STD always has additional symptoms like fever or rapid increase in lesions and ulceration. As you don't have these, you don't need to worry. Feel free to ask any doubt. Thank you
