In fact, skipping out on cleaning certain areas could cause serious health issues, reports the Mirror. Taking to TikTok, Dr Jen Caudle, a US-based family doctor, has shared the five body parts that people often skip out on when showering. Dr Caudle has discussed people's lack of hygiene and the implications of this, as she noted that your belly button and ears are two areas that need to be cleaned regularly - but probably aren't. According to Dr Caudle, our nails can be a hotbed for germs, which can cause infections and spread bacteria which can cause illnesses like diarrhoea and vomiting. One of most commonly ignored body parts while showering are your toes, which Dr Caudle advises you should be "deliberately" washing.
