A member asked:
Could anal shaving lead to it itching from time to time, and is it safe??

Yes and yes: yes can cause itching, yes it is ok as long as you do not cause too much irritation or irritation that then leads to infection. Might consider another form of hair removal, waxing, laser. Be careful with chemical hair removers in that area. Can cause irritation as well. Dr R
