Is A Red Itchy Rash On Skin After Waxing A Sign Of STD?

Question: I would like to know if the picture is an std?
Brief Answer:
not an STD
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns.
This is most likely just a rash due to scratching ie mild bacterial infection after hair removal.
I would like to know if there is itching or redness or if you did any removal of hair also few days back.
Waiting for your response.
