Ive been to see my doc today and mentioned my shaving rash down below 
and promptly got a rollocking 
I shouldnt have attempted to shave while taking a certain medication for blood thinning 
In case of damaging /cutting myself .
Well....that told me  |

"I was warned when I was on thinners.
Shaving isn't a good idea anyway as it leaves you more susceptible to STIs - you may not be bleeding but you may have abrasion wounds."
Ohhhh
phewwww , glad im not the only one   |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
"Strange, I'm (Steve) on blood thinners and nobody mentioned not shaving. It'd be interesting to see if anyone else had been warned not to.
I was gobsmacked, i really was, as i hadnt heard of it before ????
Im just looking now online and cant find anything.
Maybe its just her ? she a little old fashioned and she also said ...."that hair is there for a reason"
go figure ?
im gonna check with the practise nurse that gives me the blood thinners later "
Look online for the news report on the research on hair removal and STIs, particularly herpes - it was sometime last year. I can't remember whether it covered using thinners or not.
