Study: A Lot Of Americans Cut Themselves During 'Highly Personal Grooming'

The growing popularity of shaving pubic hair is leading to more visits to the emergency room. A new study found that many people who shave their pubic hair end up cutting themselves doing it.  The University of California, San Francisco did a survey of over 7,500 adults, and nearly 67% of men and 85% of women said they groom their pubic hair.  

Nearly 26% said they had injured themselves in the process, with over one-percent requiring medical attention.  The most common injury from public grooming was cuts, followed by burns, and then rashes.  The report is published in the journal "JAMA Dermatology."
