Why Shaving Your Intimate Areas Can Be Dangerous?

Ingrown hair in intimate areas

Like most of you, probably, know, shaving does not permanently remove hair, it just shortens, that's why we have to repeat this process over and over. Shortened hair now has a sharper tip and can pierce and grow back into skin. This may cause pain, irritation, and if you're not careful, you can even see a dermatologist.

Skin irritation and injury

We all know this - the blade suddenly became blunt, and we try to remove the hair, using the razor several times in the same place. However, this leads to skin irritation., and this should be avoided. Also, during shaving, injuries in the form of cuts can occur.. It's not only unaesthetic, but it can also hurt.

Infection when shaving intimate areas

Few know, that shaving their private parts increases the risk of infections, such as genital warts. Since there are many sweat glands in the intimate area, pathogens can thrive here, than in other parts of the body. If minor injuries occur while shaving, pathogens can easily enter, it can even happen during sex!

Genital warts is a possible consequence. They are knot-shaped and may extend into the labia, vagina, urethra and anal area. If they are not treated properly, they can spread and contribute to the development of cervical cancer.

Alternative methods of hair removal in intimate areas

Method, which, usually, is more secure, but also significantly more expensive and painful, consists in hair removal with wax. In this case, they are removed with the roots and grow back much longer..

Sugaring can also be used to remove hair in intimate areas.. This procedure is slightly more expensive., but also more delicate and less painful.

If this is not possible, just be very careful when shaving intimate areas:

• Try to warm up and moisturize the skin, to prepare her for a shave. This minimizes the risk of irritation and injury..
• Start with an electric razor. Remove as much hair as possible, before moving on to shaving with a blade.
