Hi i recently happened to cut myself with a shaving razor while shaving my pubic area, now im experiencing a dull ache paired with a little stiffness of what i think is the TMJ. I ve felt,a,slight friction around my TMJ before too but never this intense. Have i contracted tetanus?

Hello,
As you are stating that you have a cut on the pubic area while shaving the pubic area and you are concerned that you may get Tetanus.
Injury with any rusted things can cause the tetanus. But in your case it is little cut in the pubic area because which is very sensitive because of that you are having the pain. Nothing to worry chance of getting tetanus is very less.
My Advise is use sterile razors and maintain hygiene.
Thank you.
