I'm really unsure about whether I should shave my groin area or not. Could you offer some useful tips on how to do it properly if I decide to go ahead? I'm also worried about whether shaving down there might cause any infections. Just feeling a bit confused and need some advice.

Shaving the groin area is a personal preference, but if you choose to do so, useful tips include: trimming before shaving, using a clean razor and shaving cream, shaving in the direction of hair growth, avoiding shaving over the same spot multiple times, and moisturizing after shaving; however, shaving can increase the risk of ingrown hairs, razor burn, and infections like folliculitis or cellulitis, especially if proper hygiene and technique are not followed.
