Lesson 2: Vulval vexations

Quiz time – answer 7

Question

  • What are the potential harms of excessively removing pubic hair?

Answer

  • Removing too much of the pubic hair can make the skin in that area dry, sore and prone to infections and abscesses.
  • Excessively removing pubic hair to please a sexual partner may be a sign of a power imbalance in a relationship – it can also be due to unhealthy social media pressure.
