Hpv through razor?

Hi! Hopefully you can help me, and ease my mind. I am a young 14 year old girl, and was thinking lately of what may have happend two years ago. I am not sure how long, but let's say worst scenario would be, that I used my mother's razor a half hour later after her use. She only shaves her bikini line so not very close to the genitals, and uses shaving cream so that might kill hpv? I read on the doctor's forum that soap kills hpv, so the shaving cream might have worked as soap. What would be my chances getting it?

Hello,
Warts are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects used by an infected person.
It can also spread through sharing razors if it is contaminated.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
