You can... But just let them be and if they bug you bleach them. Although benzoyle peroxide should do the trick :)

It's not bad. I don't know why itd be bad for your skin if you can shave anywhere else. nothing wrong with it. I shave my arms. they don't grow back thick & ugly lol. I shave them less often than my legs. I've been shaving them for like 5 years now.

It's preference- some women don't do it some men do- I don't but I have friends who wax theirs. Some people just like being hairless :)

I agree with Lili. I only have to shave my arms about once a month because my hair grows really slow (not on my legs though). I love the way it looks and feels and I didn't have hairy arms to begin with but I just like the way it looks better...

It's not bad. I don't because my arm hair isn't very noticeable or dark. I have shaved them before though multiple times and it never grew back dark or thick. It's your choice whether you want to or not.

No, and anyone who tells you it makes your hair grow back thicker or darker is misinformed. That's a really old beauty myth. Your hair grows in follicles beneath the skin, and nothing you do to your leg hair on top of the skin can change its diameter or the number of follicles. Hair that hasn't been cut is wide at the base and is thinner toward the tip. Shaving cuts the hair off at the base where it is widest. When the hair starts to grow back, it seems coarser since that softer, thinner end has been removed.

Nope, it's just like shaving your legs. There's no harm in it.
