Is this nasty, question about shaving?

I am 16, almost 16 and a half an i hit puberty when i was 12. I think i started shaving when i was about 13, but i shaved my genital area when i was 14 for the first time. I shaved rarely but now being 16 i shave a lot more. I am still a virgin but i feel peer pressure to shave down there. And from the guys i talk to, they like shaved girls. But it is so hard for me because I always and i mean always have problems down there everytime i shave, razor burn, rashes, ingrown hairs, yeast infections. I have had about 4 yeast infections in the past 2 years, and i think it is because i shave. I already went to a gyn and she said i should not shave much or at all. Maybe trimming for like swimming but i feel like pressured about it because guys and some girls say it is gross to have hair down there. I am tired of having problems down there. How do i stop thinking like this, and should i stop shaving down there? Only in the areas that are appropriate?
