Do you have any Nair at home? I would try that first. If that doesn't work, I would try using the tweezers. Nair will probably hurt less though. Be sure to sterilize the tweezers before using this option.

Ingrown hair on underarm?

It is completely normal to get an underarm ingrown hair... To prevent them in the future you can use certain roll-on deodorants that have been designed to prevent the occurance by containing chemical exfoliants. I'm pretty sure avon has one... But not certain. Any good pharmacy or health and beauty store would be able to tell you if you inquired.... Just don't be embarrassed - it isn't worth it.

To get rid of the one you have is a different question. If it is deep like you say and you can't just wait for it to reach the surface of disintergrate on its own (as a result of your skin cells rejecting the dead hair cells), you should take a trip down to a beauty services salon and ask them if they'd fix it.... They should, but if not (beleive it or not) go to the doctor, they should be able to fix it within minutes.

If you can see the hair, give one go at it with a sterilized pin or needle ( a really fine, sharp point either way to prevent scarring). Only a couple goes at it though, as you could scar iff you delve in too deep...

Best to leave it to the experts in my opinion though - or your mum if you're younger :). Mum's rock...

To treat is after being removed use a diluted tea tree oil - it will disinfect the area and prevent infection.

And lastly, if you tweeze the hair it will make it more likely as the unsurface hair goes depper inside the skin's surface, which then closes before the new growth can exit.
