im 22 and a pretty hairy guy and every once and a while i got through bouts with ingrown hairs on my legs. ive tried exfoliators and lotions. anyone have any idea this is incredibly annoying
Ingrown hair problem?
It can be caused by an infection of your hair follicles... so instead of just treating the bumps, try preventing the infection. Ask your doctor for a prescription strength soap like phisohex or you could even try ProActive, the acne treatment. They help to adjust the pH of your skin to make it less apt to be an environment for such types of bacteria.
Ingrown hair problem?
Well first of all, make sure they're ingrown hairs lol. Sometimes people confuse them for something else, and exfoliating only irritates it.
You can try what I use on my bikini area for ingrowns: Bikini Zone. Or you can take a hot face cloth and press it against the bumps.
If worst comes to worst, you can always ask a dermatologist.
