Infection? STI? Bacteria? Fungus?

After shaving my pubic area I noticed a few days later that I had 2 pimple like sores high up on my pubic hair line . I tried to pluck the hairs from the 2 areas and didn't think anything of it as I've had ingrown hairs before. Then a couple days later they became itchy and have become larger (my pants often rub against them). They no longer have pus but they are red and have a sort of white scabby skin that surrounds them. I also had protected sex the night after having shaved. It was an older razor and my towel may not have been clean as I use it at my schools gym. (I've had athletes foot before so it's not 100% clean at them gym!). Anyways, I'm going to see a doctor asap but would like to get someones opinion on what they think it could be as it's very distressing!

Thanks

Got it checked out and the doctor just prescribed a Topical Antibiotic and said it wasn't anything sexually transmitted. Just really irritated ingrowns or something I guess. We'll see how the cream works. Hopefully fast!

Honestly, it could be any of those, and you'll need an exam to find out.
