How you remove or choose whether to remove your pubic hair or not is your prerogative.

Here are a few suggestions from a dermatologist point of view based on how the hair removal methods impact skin:

➡️Shaving
This is the most common method used. It may suit people but it is not preferred. If you like to shave , shave only in the direction of hair. Shaving can lead to small micro cuts in the skin which leads to infection. Reverse shaving also causes in grown hair. If you have bumps in your pubic area then do not shave.

➡️Waxing
This is a most painful way of hair removal. It can lead to burns if not done correctly. Washing can also lead to ingrown hair as the hair gets broken under the skin and starts growing inwards.

➡️Hair removal creams
This can be the cause for allergies or even darkening of the pubic area. The pubic area is exposed to moisture and friction. Any kind of irritation in the area tends to linger on for longer and cause darkening .

➡️Trimmer or clipping with scissors
This may be the most painless and hassle free way to remove hair. Always trim in the direction of hair. Though it will not give your smooth hairless skin, it is the one which is least likely to cause problems. You can use a sanitiser to wipe the cutting surfaces of these devices to prevent chances of infection. Always store in a dry are to prevent rusting.

You have to be very careful while using scissors. Always use your non dominant hand as guide.

➡️Laser hair reduction
If you want to opt for a more permanent option then laser hair reduction is a good choice. There is a common notion that laser hair reduction is either very painful or very expensive in the bikini area. Neither of that is true . Numbing cream can be used in people who are very pain sensitive. As this is reduction and not removal , there may be thin downy hair remaining, usually in the inner side of labia. As the hair in this area are thick, results with laser are very good.
