术前用脱毛膏脱毛与常规剃须进行比较。虽然两组的伤口感染发生率相似，但发现乳膏脱毛效果更好。它是有效的，无创性的，无毒的，并且可以自我给药。此外，它可以安全地用于肉芽伤口，不支持细菌生长。脱毛与皮肤表面细菌的显著减少有关，并且被证明比剃须更便宜。
Preoperative hair removal by a depilatory cream was compared with routine shaving. Although the incidence of wound infection was similar in both groups, cream depilation was found to be better. It was effective, atraumatic, non-toxic, and could be self-administered. Furthermore, it could be used safely on granulating wounds and did not support bacterial growth. Depilation was associated with a significant reduction in skin surface bacteria and proved to be cheaper than shaving.
