The one part of your body you should never shave is your pubic hair.
Why Avoid Shaving Pubic Hair?
Shaving pubic hair carries several risks, primarily due to the sensitive nature of the skin in that area. These risks include:
- Rashes: The act of shaving can irritate the delicate skin of the pubic region, leading to rashes and discomfort.
- Ingrown hairs: When hairs are cut close to the skin, they can curl back into the skin, causing ingrown hairs that can be painful and become infected.
- Infection: Used razors can harbor bacteria, increasing the risk of infection when shaving the pubic area. A new, clean razor should always be used.
