Hi.
As per your case history of razor burn my treatment advice is -
1. Best way to cure a razor burn is to a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
2. It usually does not spread like rash.
But in your case it may be due to cortisone application. After cortisone application there may be a development of fungal rash.
3. Now apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it. Take levocetrizine if it itches.

Thanks.
