Hello and welcome to HCM,
The white colored lesions are not likely to be due to any sexually transmitted disease (STD).
They seem to be due to side effect of shaving with a razor.
Shaving with a razor can lead to cuts on skin, infection of cut skin, infection of skin adnexa- hair follicles or sweat glands.
On the contrary, they can also be due to allergy to undergarment.
I suggest you to with hold shaving of the area and consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment to determine the likely origin of these lesions.
Management of these lesions depends on the clinical diagnosis.
Allergy is managed by change of under garment material.
Skin cuts and infections can be managed with antibiotics.

Thanks and take care
