A member asked:
Shave underarms w/soap and/or h2o instead of shaving cream/gel. did it cause dimpled cellulite on inside arms about 2 inches lower than underarm area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cellulite: I don't believe that shaving your axillae would be the cause of cellulite below the actual armpits. Any traumatic or allergic reaction to shaving the axillae would affect only those shaved areas.
