Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The spot in your pubic area seem to be just an abrasion due to shaving.It doesn't seem to be of concern.
STD infections usually take few days to 1-2 weeks to cause any sign or symptoms due to the incubation period.So a lesion that appeared the day following the sexual encounter ,is very unlikely to be an STD.If your partner had no visible lesions on genital area ,you have nothing to worry about (since it was a protected intercourse ).
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question.
Kind regards,
