Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic

Dear Mr Karibasappa

Hair removal cream or chemical depilation is not recommended for hairs on genital region. The skin is very sensitive and is prone for allergic reaction and pigmentation. Using hair trimmer is the safest.


Do get back to me if you need any further assistance or clarification, will be glad to assist you.


Take care
