Does Shaving The Pubic Area Cause Any Infections?
I went to a laser treatment and the lady used a razor to shave off the hair on the private area. I did not feel my skin being cut nor did I see any cuts. I am worried that if she reused a razor that i could have got infected by a small microscopic cut that I can not see.

Hello dear. Welcome to'Ask a doctor' service. I read your query and here is my advice. If you weren't cut anywhere you are less likely of being infected from diseases transmitted by blood.
Anyway a small risk still exists from microtrauma near hair follicle.
Take care.
Hope I answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards.
