Has anyone had an ingrown hair and how do you get rid of it?

Mine is a little black eyelash stuck under the skin of the top of my eyelid, and that explains the pimple I had there over my eye!

I have tried everything-tweezers, ice cubes, warm towel, exfoliating, etc!

My mum has called a few doctors, and they are all busy for the next couple of days!

Did I make it worse? Am I a freak?

PLEASE GIVE IDEAS AND HELP!

You should stop messing with it for a while, that includes putting makeup on your eyelashes and stuff like that, too. I had that before and the best thing you can do is leave it alone and stop messing with your eyelashes. It will work itself out. It happens.

go see an optometrist and they will pluck it out for you, if it keeps happening you might need to see an eyelid specialist.

I agree...you should see an ophthalmologist. But in the meantime, make a cup of tea, then take the teabag and lie it on top of the hair. The tanic acid in the tea "draws", which may help it to raise closer to the surface. An ingrown hair under the skin resembles a very tightly wound spring, so tweezers will not work.
