News Update: The Schwimmbadsaison begins, many people are wondering if you should put his hand on your hair - is the from a medical point of view?

Wolff: in my office hours I sometimes see in men, which are under the shoulders not shave, infestation with Propioni-Bakterien - despite daily showering. These bacterial colonies are such as coral reefs. The Achselhaar is then as too sweet of a brownish, vitreous coating begins to muffles, if he comes into contact with sweat. That is why I would recommend for aesthetic and olfactory reasons, although the shoulders to shave and in men and women.

News Update: people without coral reefs in his armpit?

Wolff: For those who does not have these problems, it is more not relevant. Men with Achselhaaren are, of course, not perceived as unattractive. But it is absolutely simple, every two to four weeks with a simple trimmer the armpits to short. I think this makes sense.
