Tips To Remove Pubic Hair: Regular cleaning of the body is very important. Many types of health problems can arise due to carelessness. The private part area of our body is considered to be the most sensitive. Many types of questions remain in the minds of people regarding this part. Most of the people remain confused about cleaning the pubic hair i.e. the hair around the private parts. Some people consider it necessary to remove them completely, while others consider them to be natural protection for reproductive health. In such a situation, it becomes important to know whether removing pubic hair is right or not?
Dermatologist Dr. Yugal Rajput of GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, UP told News18. The job of pubic hair is to protect this sensitive area from external friction, dust and to some extent infection. However, this does not mean that they should not be cleaned at all for a long time. During summer and rainy season, this area sweats more, which can accumulate in the hair and increase dirt. If cleaning is not done on time, the risk of bacterial or fungal infection increases.
The doctor says that taking bath daily, wearing clean undergarments and changing clothes after sweating helps in keeping this area healthy. If cleanliness is taken care of, then there is no problem even without hair removal. However, those who decide to remove pubic hair should exercise extreme caution. Wrong hair removal can cause cuts, irritation, rashes and infection on the skin. Small wounds caused during shaving or waxing can prove dangerous for sensitive skin, because bacteria can easily enter the body through them.
Experts said that if pubic hair has to be removed, it is better to trim it first. After this, bathing with lukewarm water makes the skin soft and the risk of cuts is reduced. Good quality shaving cream or gel should be used. The razor used must be clean and safe. After shaving, this area should be washed thoroughly and moisturizer should be applied, so that there is no irritation and dryness. People whose skin is more sensitive or already have any skin problems should definitely consult a doctor before removing pubic hair.
