As per LA Times, two French
dermatologists and a global health researcher from Emory University have
suggested that an upsurge in the spread of the se.xually
transmitted molluscum cantagiosum virus over the last decade might be attributable to the trend of shaving or waxing the hair around the genitals.

- If you have an autoimmune disease your risk of catching one is higher
Pretty common nowadays is the extensive
removal of hair in the nether-regions, but the practice can come at a
price for many. According to the Oxford Journals the risk of
contracting an infection is increased if you are an immunosuppressed
individual. In particular they document how a 20-year-old Australian
woman who had poorly controlled type 1 diabetes contracted Streptococcus
Pyogenes and the Herpes Simplex Virus after her skin ripped during a
Brazilian wax.
- Do not remove your pubes unless you want an STI, says science
Rumour has it both men and women who
have se.x straight after removing their pubic hair promote the
cultivation of STIs. The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and
Surgery therefore suggest that you should refrain from any hanky-panky
for a little while after waxing.
- Try not to burn yourself
If you have ever been waxed before, you
will know that it can get pretty bloody hot. So you have to be very
careful prior to smothering yourself in the stuff, it hurts like hell to
get off, but it will hurt a lot more if you burn yourself beforehand.
- Sometimes people’s skin actually rips off
You will be more prone to “skin lifting”
if you suffer from eczema or psoriasis or take medication that thins
your blood. But, you are not the only ones out there who can have their
skin seriously damaged from a dodgy waxing session. This 48-year-old
woman had a Brazilian. It was not just her hair that was removed, her
skin was too.
- Shaving can cause the big itch
Dry shaving is a big no-no because it
can cause big itch, however, it turns out that even when you shave in
warm water with plenty of lotion you can experience the big itch. This
is because of folliculitis– when recently shaved hair re-grow out of the
follicle and curl back around.
Well, there you have it people, even
though we may think we are doing ourselves (and others) a favor by
ridding our bodies of hair, it turns out that we could be doing more
harm than good.
