Shaving or waxing can cause irritation and micro-
trauma to your skin that increases your risk of
contracting a viral infection.
Researchers of a new case study observed that the number of cases of molluscum contagiosum have risen along with rates of pubic hair removal.
To look into the link, they observed 30 patients at
a private skin care clinic in Nice, France, all of
whom were infected with the molluscum virus.
Nearly all of them had removed their pubic hair,
the vast majority by shaving, followed by waxing
and then clipping.
The finding supports the researchers theory that
hairless genitals may provide an opportunity for
sexually transmitted diseases like molluscum to
take hold, with shaving showing the strongest
association.
Molluscum contagiosum is spread easily, and the
researchers suggested the virus may have spread primarily through self-infection caused by scratching skin irritated by shaving. Other skin issues were also noted among the study participants, which may also have been related to the pubic hair removal. These included:
Warts (the researchers suggested shaving your pubic hair may also increase the risk of genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV))
Bacterial skin infections
Scars
Ingrown hairs

So you don't shave?

So you don't shave?

I shave but I don't do clean shave. I only do that to my armpit.

shaving with a clipper is way better than a shaving stick. no bums, no inner hair growth, and no total hair loss. what most people don't know is that pubic hair is meant to prevent these forms of infection just as hair in the nostril prevents dust.
