Personal hygiene practices are followed meticulously to keep the body clean to prevent contamination and infection. Teenagers or adolescents need to be extra careful about their personal hygiene as many changes that occur during this time increase the possibility of infections. For example, the growth of hair in the armpits and pubic region combined with the oversecretion of sweat and oil glands provide ideal conditions for bacterial infections. Therefore, proper care should be taken to clean these areas regularly and to make sure they are kept relatively dry.

1) Proper bathing
2) Regular brushing of teeth
3) Washing hands before eating
4) Proper cleaning of utensils, clothes, etc.
