The scar is the result of a smallpox vaccination. Although I had the vaccination as a child, once I applied for entry to college, I had to have another. This even though I carried the scar from the first vaccination.
They stopped routine smallpox vaccinations in the 1970’s, because it was felt that smallpox had been eradicated.

Actually, you didn’t HAVE to. I refused and had no problem.
Thank you for helping out my memory! Small pox, understood, thanks.
