Question 7

is it unhealthy to not shave armpits?

Accepted Answer

Shaving: This is very fashionable norm for the United States but not for the rest of the world. Potentially more complications from shaving than not.

Question 8

should i scrub my armpits in shower ?

Accepted Answer

YES: It is always a good idea to pay special attention to those areas of the body where bacteria tend to grow more easily. Armpits, genitals, beneath breasts and under folds of fat tend to have a higher moisture level and higher levels of bacteria and fungus. Washing them regularly and thoroughly rinsing them will help keep the areas clean and free from infection. Be sure to dry them well after washing

Question 9

is it ok for boys to shave their armpits?

Accepted Answer

I suppose: I find it no worse than shaving their heads, arms or legs. Removal or shaping of body hair has been a culturally  defined practice that dates back through all recorded history. It has the same value to some as patterns of body art or adornment with jewelry.Patterns change over time.

Question 10

my armpits break out all the time what is it?

Accepted Answer

ARMPITS BROKEN OUT: Do your armpits itch? Is there a rash? Are they lumps or boils? If they just itch, it may be due to the soap you are using. Change to dove or cetaphil; change you antiperspirant/deodorant; wash your blouses ANS sweaters and shirts in all free & clear (don't know if you are female or male) if it persists, see a dermatologist.
