Shaving is common and yet still i have experienced "uncomfortable" moments with it ...like when the nurse got upset and asked who had shaved me to give birth as this was not deemed necessary any longer in the health field. It caused slight discomfort telling her i have always kept it like that. I have often contemplated the possibility of having to go to the doctor when marks are present and admittedly i am one that would put it off until the marks had faded, but how detrimental this could be now has me reconsidering. Thank you for posting this.
