Raw skin from shaving?

Question

Asked for Female, 18 Years

A week ago I shaved my pubic area, but a few days later a part of my skin felt raw and burning and then a few days after that, another one showed up and it felt the same way. They are starting to scab over, but I am just worried about it and wondering if it is related to shaving. (sorry if it sounds gross)
