Can I get a sexually transmitted disease without having sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I haven't had sexual activity. There are many small red dots on the inner side of my right thigh, very itchy, and it hurts a bit when I scratch them.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be a case of localized eczema, which is a common allergic, non-infectious, and superficial epidermal inflammation. It is an inflammatory skin disease of the epidermis and superficial dermis caused by various internal and external factors. It can be treated with a decoction of Sophora flavescens for fumigation and washing, which can be somewhat effective.
