On the other hand, when a woman shaves her armpits, she exposes some of the most sensitive skin on the human body, not to mention an area saturated with lymph glands extremely close the the skin's surface. That bare , sensitive skin, along with the attendant micro-cuts, scrapes, abrasions inflicted during the normal course of shaving, is now virtually unprotected.

Follow that up with the application of burning, stinging, dehydrating agents such as perfumed deodorants and antiperspirants we're not to far from A root cause or at least a variable to the high rate of breast cancer in America. If circumcision can provide protection nasty diseases, is it impossible that shaved armpits can contribute to the develop of a nasty condition? The trans-dermal application of carcinogens and their storage in fatty tissue, such as the fatty tissue found near breast is possible. Consider the location of where most lumps detected lumps are found.

I don't get it.

I am not very hairy at all, naturally. Shaving my virtually hairless pits is not going to "expose" the skin, as it is already exposed. It's not like most of us are so hairy there's a rug growing in there!

Millions of men shave their faces daily and then apply "burning, stinging, dehydrating agents", does this contribute to an increase of throat cancer???

And then, cutting off the end of one's penis (can I say that here?) prevents disease, but merely brushing over the surface of the skin with a razor causes disease?

Your logic escapes me!

By the way, unlike the rest of the unshaven expatriates on this thread, I spent many years overseas due to my husband's job and lived in or visited many of the smelliest places on earth. Alot has to do with diet and hygiene, but I consider shaving an element of hygiene. Why should we expect people who don't even bathe to shave their pits and legs?
