(10,960 posts)You seem to think that any general observation about human beings is about YOU, YOU, YOU.
You chose to follow a fad, and that's your business. It does not, however, mean that the entire rest of the world needs to stop thinking so your choice to follow a fad will be more psychologically comfortable for you.
You itch because you shave. You started shaving, for god knows what reason, buying into a fad that is a fad partially because *other people* prefer a pre-pubescent look. You were not seeking a pre-pubescent look. You were just buying into a particularly disgusting and inhuman fad for your own personal reasons.
Fair enough. Everyone follows a monstrous fad at some point in life.
But your symptoms are nonsense.
Shaving anywhere on the body causes itching when the hair starts to grow back in.
C-A-U-S-E-S.
So you big medical necessity issue is a self-inflicted problem.
The kinkier and coarser the hair, the bigger the problem. This is why pubic shaving is a particular problem. There is a lot of variation in hair types, but a person's public hair is almost always coarser and less-straight than their head hair.
You have doomed yourself to a perpetual condition of being on the threshold of itching. That is your right.
But your abhorrence of hair in general demonstrates that your medical necessity issue is bogus.
You have a psychological problem with humans being mammals that you absorbed from culture. Period.
