Is it unhealthy to not shave armpits?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

This is going to sound weird but how come the hair on both my armpits is totally gone, I didnt shave them and noone else did either so how come?
