Anal Hair

__________________________

Comments: Dec. 28, 2003

Hello, I am a 16 year old black female, with a rare "nether-region"
condition. I have anal hair. This problem is very frustrating, stressful,
and causes me to be apprehensive and embarrassed about my present and
future social encounters. It presents another issue as well. The hair is
thick, and becomes matted, which then retains perspiration, and a very
unpleasant vaginal and anal odor. The odor is pungent on a regular
basis. I know that this problem is not a health risk, but it is a hygienic
problem, which makes me feel uncomfortable, and extremely self-conscious
about the way I smell. I've tried everything: showering thoroughly
every day, using powder, feminine washes, and deodorant sprays, I wear only
cotton underwear, and I try, with difficulty, to make sure that the
area is completely dry before I put on my underwear. Even after all of
that, I end the day feeling completely unfresh (sic), and fully capable of
smelling myself. I don't know what else I can do about this; is there
anything that you suggest I do, in terms of the hair removal, or seeing a
physician? Thank you for taking the time to read this, I am in dire need of
a solution and appreciate any form of assistance you can offer me.

Dear site visitor:

Regarding your problem described here, we believe that you are already doing the correct things when you said you're making much effort to keep yourself dry.

As for the existing ways or procedures out there which may help you getting rid of the excessive anal hair, you need to consult a dermatologist (skin doctor). Some of the procedures might be expensive or traumatic. You'll need to decide w/ your parents and your dermatologist whether those procedures are the right ones for you.
