Many shave their private areas for hygiene, comfort, or beauty. But medical experts warn that completely removing pubic hair can create serious health risks.
“Pubic hair is not a mistake of nature. It protects sensitive skin from friction, bacteria, and irritation,” say dermatologists.
In Kenya’s hot and humid climate, long hours of commuting, work, and tight clothing already stress the skin. Shaving adds even more risk.
Tiny, invisible cuts from shaving make it easier for bacteria, fungi, and viruses to enter the body.
The American Academy of Dermatology warned in 2020, “Removing pubic hair can spread molluscum contagiosum, a viral skin infection, and increase the risk of folliculitis and other skin infections.”
