Ingrown pubic hairs are stitching up my penis...
by Livercool, May 07, 2008 06:18PM
I have been shaving and/or trimming my pubic hair for quite some time now, however, it wasn't until recently that I realized that as the hair grew back, it would kind of pierce through a few different pieces of bunched up skin on my penis, and in a sense, sort of sew up or stich up some of my skin in the area to the extent that I lost a few inches (length and girth) due to this trapped skin.

How often do you shave?
I think it is best to refrain from shaving for the meantime and allow the hair to grow at a certain length before shaving again. Shaving causes skin irritation and hairs when they grow may grow inward. This is especially true to coarse and curlier hair. Pubic hairs vary in character from hairs in other pats of the body. Folliculitis, a bacterial infection involving hair follicles may also affect persons who frequently shave.
You may opt to have this assessed by your dermatologist. I do not think penile character such as length and girth will be affected with ingrown hair. This may only appear to be so. What is important here is to avoid infections in the area.
