    Right now, you can treat them with an antibiotic cream and leave them alone - don't pick! Then you have a few options for the next time to avoid ingrowns: Don't do anything to your hair. Trim to a short length but don't shave completely. Get waxed/sugared once your hair is long enough. Shave using conditioner or unscented deodorant, and shave WITH the grain of the hair. As far as I know, it's not recommended to use chemical hair removers on your pubic hair, but I could be wrong.

    Those hurt! What works for us is to gently pluck the hair out. Wash the infected area with anti-bacterial soap. Cover and keep washing with anti-bacterial soap. You need also to apply warm cloths throughout the day. I found this information under "boils" at WEB MD. A "boil" may get really bad if it does not get attention. (The bump that occurs with the ingrown hair is considered a "boil". That's why I looked there.)

    Whenever you wash your face make sure you use warm water and scrub with a towel to help bring the hairs to the surface, try using a good exfoliant. Mary Kay has great products as far as facial cleansers, the 3 in1 is great.

    I experienced a very bad eyebrow threading once and I used Pond's Pore Strips to gently remove those stubborn ingrown hairs.

    It's good if you have adequate lighting. I used a halogen desk lamp.

    alchohol

    +

    pimple popper

    apply alchohol to ingrown hair and pimple popper (to sterilize) than pop and get all the puss out of it.

    put a bandaid and numbing cream!

    good luck and hope this helped.

    ;)

    Get a hot cloth, press it on the affected area, and POP that sucker! It'll hurt, but it'll work.

    when you get out of the shower & your skin is still soft, put on a good lotion that's for poor unclogging. It worked for me

    All of the above and try shaving more frequently.

  • Warm rags applied to area is all I can think of.
