What Causes A Reddish Pink Blotch On Right Inner Thigh /groin Area?

Hi, I have had a reddish pink blotch on my skin on my right inner thigh/ groin area. It is the size of a quarter in a oval shap. it does not stick up above my skin line. it is just flat with the surface of the skin. It does not hurt. also there is a bit of dry skin around the outer edge of the oval shape. I have had it for atleast a year & I noticed another one on my left inner thigh. I am just concerned that itcould be an STD . I am not recently sexually active. However I was a year or so back. What do you think it could be. Have you seen this before?

Thanks, Cory
