Answer
a shave's a shave, if the area in question is exposed and yourself conscious about teh area, then by all means shave. if its not something you hsave regularly and its covered up, then do you reallyw ant to walk around with a prickly feeling?

Answer
one of my doctors does want me to shave 1 day before (so he can see the area exactly where it needs to be treated), the other doctor likes to do it himself and mark the area with a white pencil before that. it's really up to you. doesn't matter. if you feel you need to shave, do it. if not, they will probably do it for you.
