YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Just use a beard trimmer, you do t gotta go all the way.
Ingrown hairs in your armpit are bad news
You actually do to get rid of this unless its mild and goes away with alcohol/antiseptic soap, it colonizes the follicle. I've shaved my armpits for like 20 years and never once had an ingrown hair as does like most women in the US
That's because you've shave that hair for 20 years.
Hair that isn't normally shaved poses a greater risk for ingrown hairs.
To reiterate, in grown hair in your armpit is awful. It will get infected unless you wear tank tops all the time, and an infection near all the nerve endings in your arm put causes for a seriously painful time. It can all be avoided by just trimming without going down to the skin.
If you do go down to the skin on an area you've never shaved before, you'd be wise to do so using conditioner on your armpits instead of shaving cream. You'd also be wise to apply aftershave afterwards.
But you're right. Just as most men don't get in grown hairs in their face from shaving after the first 3 or 4 shaves, you are fine, given that hair in your armpit is basically expecting to be shaved.
All the women I know get ingrown hairs lol
Use a sharp razor
