Pubic Hair / Question
Published: August 6, 2002
Dear TeenHealthFX,
If I was to trim my pubic hair pretty short, would it hurt or itch as it was growing back?

Dear Trimming Pubic Hair,
Whether you to shave or trim your pubic hair or not is entirely a personal decision. Some people choose to do so for cosmetic reasons or their partner prefers them this way. If you do decide to trim your public hair, it should not hurt in any way, but may itch a bit as it grows back in much in the same way as a beard would. Maintaining it regularly you can help reduce some of the itching.
See TeenHealthFX's answer to Shaving Pubic Hair for some further information.
