Girls shaving has certain side effects and hazards, which may cause skin barrier damage, localized folliculitis, while the deeper skin has a certain risk of infection.
1. Damaged skin barrier: the outermost layer of the skin’s stratum corneum has its own normal renewal cycle, generally about 28 days, in the use of external sharp tools to repeatedly scrape the hair at the same time, will hurt our weak stratum corneum, triggering premature shedding of keratinocytes, resulting in impaired skin barrier function, the skin will be more sensitive, prone to redness, which in turn leads to other skin problems.
2. Folliculitis: After shaving the hair, the hair follicle is easily infected due to the unclean blade or hair removal tool contacting the hair follicle opening, coupled with excessive shaving of the hair and unclean water contact. Thus, folliculitis symptoms appear.
3. Deep skin infection: when using metal instruments to shave hair, unskilled operation can easily lead to skin scratches, or potential tiny wounds, which may be secondary to bacterial or viral infections and other pathogens, resulting in the formation of dengue or cellulitis.
It is recommended that female patients with hair removal needs to go to regular medical institutions in a timely manner, under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the treatment, to avoid shaving on their own to avoid unnecessary harm.
