A member asked:
Is it safe to shave your genitals while you have an outer yeast infection?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Shaving can create cuts in the skin and the infection can go into those cuts and spread.

Not a good idea: Treat the yeast infection first with any of the over the counter yeast creams until you're satisfied that the infection is better, then shave if you need to do so.
