A member asked:

Is it bad that i shaved my vaginal yeast infection and then shaved my upper lip and armpits? i usually keep the razor dry.

Should be no problem: If your immune system is normal then there should be no problem especially if there was no break in the skin.You really can not shave vaginal yeast infection.
