5.11 Trimming or Shaving of Pubic Hair :
Pubic hair may gradually darken and may become more curly and coarse.
When pubic hair begins to grow, boys may worry about small bumps that may appear at the base of the penis and on the scrotum. These bumps are normal. Boys will soon notice tiny hairs growing through the bumps. There may be other bumps consist of oil and perspiration. These bumps are also normal.
Sweat glands are generally found under the hair follicles. These hairs trap the sweat and become a breeding ground for bacteria, causing bad odor. The armpits and the pubic area are the main area of concern for body odor. These areas are always covered, and the sweat does not dry soon, causing the bacteria to decompose it. So wear, cotton underwear and avoid wearing tight & synthetic clothes during warm weather.
Trimming of pubic hair can be done with a small scissors. For a smooth, comfortable shaving, use a sharp blade.
A blade should be replaced before it starts to irritate your skin, particularly in tender and more sensitive areas.
Clean your razor / blade after every use, so that hairs, shaving cream and dead skin cells accumulated on the blade get removed.
Using warm water on your hair prior to shaving gives the whiskers a chance to swell up a bit and minimize drag against your skin. This softens the whiskers and allows them to be removed more easily.
Once you have finished shaving, rinse the area with either cold or lukewarm water and apply antiseptic after-shave lotion.
One may get small, red bumps after a day, at few points of hair root. These bumps will disappear in two or three days.
