Will shaving underarm hair have any effect?
Disease description:
Yesterday while showering, I noticed my colleague had no underarm hair at all, while I have quite a lot, which made me feel very embarrassed. I'm considering removing my underarm hair as well. Will shaving underarm hair cause any problems?

Shaving underarm hair generally does not have a significant impact on physical health. Although underarm hair can serve a protective function by reducing friction against the skin under the arms, it is considered an accessory organ of the skin. Its removal typically does not affect the normal functioning of bodily organs, and therefore does not lead to any abnormal effects on the body.
