probably this is just a shaving rash though it could be a bacterial infection. see your provider if you think this is more than a shaving rash.

if you were my relative and you used my razor, I'd want to know so I could toss it and start using a new one!

we recommend never sharing razors. many non-std related bacteria can be present them and it's just poor hygiene to do so.

did you contract a std from this? not likely at all.  see your provider and have your rash looked at if you are concerned.

also did you tell your aunt that you used her razor?
