Just a reminder, keep it trim 🙂
There are so many photos on here with bear🐻 bums, and I'm so surprised. We are all aware that hair is the demon of this disease, you gotta help fight it off.
I know a lot of doctors will tell patients to use nair or get laser hair removal, but get how that can be intimidating for some. And shaving is out of the question.
So at the very least, break out the hair trimmer and buzz it as short as you can. The pilonidal area and up and down your crack (loose hairs can move up the crack during the day). And most importantly, which no one thinks of but causes so sooo much trouble.... your back. Keep your back hair trim. When back hair falls out, it only has one place to fall, the direct area you don't want it to go.
Happy trimming!
