Because of this — and perhaps just as commonly, because of parental paranoia about this — all kinds of things are available in child-friendly versions, just in case...
According to surveys, body grooming is on the rise — and with it, more and more nicks and cuts to our most tender areas. These injuries are unsightly — and painful — so we asked primary care physician Dr. Marc Leavey how to treat the all those...
Men don’t get towels. We just don’t. As we’ve discussed previously, guys generally have one towel, or at most two. There’s the bath towel, i.e., the one we use to dry off after the shower and mop our hair, arms, legs, butts, balls, faces and every other square inch...
