I've been getting ingrown hairs on my bikini line. i usually just pluck sometimes shave. and i ALWAYS get ingrown hairs, then i get them out, i have bumps that seem to stay there forever (about a week or two) then the hair starts to grow inside the bump again and i have to get it out. How can i prevent this? it's frustating me. i dont want to get scars or anything like that. what can i do? i was thinking about gettin professional waxing but i dont want to do that right now because of all the bumps. help?
o yeah, i've been putting on some anit-bacterial gel on the bumps and that seems to help them go away faster, but still getting the ingrown hairs.
How can i prevent ingrown hair?
Washing the skin before shaving is helpful in exfoliating and lifting the hair away from the follicle while softening the hair and preparing it for the shave. Then shave in the direction of the hair growth (perhaps even every other day). Shave in the same direction each time. For ladies: on the leg area this means shaving down instead of up. Shaving in the same direction (and not against the grain) helps to train the hair to grow out straight, thus preventing it curling back into the skin. Afterward a damp warm towel can be applied for a few minutes to further soothe and soften.
If ingrown hairs are still a problem after making sure that the shaving process was completed in such a way that more occurrences are prevented, then you must remove the plug of hardened proteins that are blocking the hair follicle with exfoliation products so that the hair may grow outward. Beta hydroxy acids (such as a salicylic acid) are best for this because they penetrate deeply into the plug of hardened proteins and slowly dissolve the plug. If the inflammation has progressed to the point of serious infection, then a dermatologist or physician will need to be consulted. Another option of course would be laser hair removal.
Exfoliating every time you bathe and cleanse the face (as you would with Skin Biology's Exfol Serum or Exfol Cream, which contains beta hydroxy acid: salicylic acid) is your best defense against ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Gentle cleansing and keeping the skin smooth and supple works well to keep the hair follicles moisturized and growing in the right direction.

How can i prevent ingrown hair?
Exfoliate once a week, use a really sharp razor when you shave one with at least 3 blades better with 4. Sometimes you can put deoderant on after you shave that prevents ingrown hairs.

How can i prevent ingrown hair?
Be sure to exfoliate the area before you shave. This will prevent the ingrown hairs. Try St. Ives Apricot Scrub for sensitive skin.
And keep using the anti-bacterial gel. That will help the skin irritation you already have.
