General answer: Skin is the major protection of our delicate internal tissues from a harsh environment, it is susceptible to injury. Sun, shaving and chemicals are very irritating as well as exposure to moisture reduces protective skin oils and sets the skin up for injury. The trick is to apply good protective dressings or skin cream frequently and minimize ongoing damage. Clean it often using gentle mean.
