I agree get some tweezers but steralize them first then pull it out then put alchol on it then Neosporen!
Yep that would be the right answer at lest it has worked for me!
Good Luck!
you probably wont like this answer but you need to pull it out with a pair of tweezers.
pluck the hair,
the less u wear the more u need NAIR
You can pluck it out if this is a rare occurence. There are special razors and treatments for this if it happens often though. Its called psuedofoliculitis barbiae as a regular happening to the skin. Exfoliation of the skin will reduce the chances of hairs becoming ingrown. But in the case of psuedo, there are items in the ethnic hair section of stores for this since african-americans are more prone to the condition than whites. Its okay for everyone though.
pluck it...its a normal occurance.
Get the twezzers and try to dig it out, or esle it could get infected.
locate a pair of tweezers and pluck it...usually an ingrown hair will look like an inverted "u" with both arms in the skin...
as for prevention (of ingrown hairs), i don't have an answer for that
BTW...might not be a bad idea to dip the tweezers into some rubbing alcohol to sterilize before plucking
tweezers - pull out the hair, put something inflamed/infected skin on it to clean and sanitise it. In future save with sharp blades and in the direction the hair grows, so on you face - shave down, not up.
Pluck it %26lt;smiles%26gt;
ive never heard of this in my life, can someone please explain to me what it is
An ingrown hair is one that never comes above the surface. It continues to grow, under the skin and sometimes causes a bump to form.
閳?br>What is an Ingrown hair?
It's a trapped hair follicle under the skin. Sometimes when you wax or shave, your alter the direction of the hair growth and the hair sometimes grows under the skin instead of growing out of the skin. You can sometimes see the hair as a dark bump under the skin. It can usually be lifted out by gently exfoliating the skin.
Ingrown hair is a condition where the hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. It may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle (folliculitis) or "razor bumps" (Pseudofolliculitis barbae). While ingrown hair most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved (beard, legs, pubic region), it can appear anywhere.
It's when a hair grows under the skin and never comes out and it hurt like heck it forms a knot and sometimes becomes infected. Tou can sometimes take a needle and stick it in the bump and get it out and sometimes you have to have a Dr. cut it out
Can you prevent it? (It's on my bikini area...I shave everyday, could that be why?)
Ingrown hairs can be caused by skin cells blocking the hair follicle, so the hair cannot pass through. It can also be caused by skin being irritated, so the opening of the hair follicle swells shut, again not allowing the hair passage. Shaving your bikini area daily is NOT a good thing, especially if your skin is very sensitive and you've got skin irritation already. Shave only every 2-3 days, and try a cream called Bikini Zone.
clogged pores...use warm cloths and place on the ingrown hair to unclog the pore.
ANY ingrown hair is caused by growth of the hair trapped by the outer layer of the skin. Which means, if you don't shave SO CLOSE, it won't happen.
Most shaver pulls the hair slightly before it cuts. That makes a closer shave, but it can be too close. When it retracts, the top of the hair is actually under the skin. If the hole of the skin closes, then hair has no places to go! Thus if it cannot penetrate the skin, it grows under the skin, side ways.
Perhaps you are being too agressive and shaving too close.
Try to cut back to shaving everyother day. I did and I stopped getting ingrown hairs in my bikini area. That area has sensitive skin so let it breathe for a day before it gets irritated again with a razor.
It is where the skin if over the hari follicle thing so the hair cannot get out. I used to get them all the time on my legs from waxing. The answer is exfoliating which rmoves the skin.
Im not sure if shaving everyday has caused it but if this is the case are you sure it an ingrown hair not just an irritation?hope this helps xxx
i have them on the backs of my thighs! they are embarressing hay!!!
This is what you do, you go to the doctor and ask him to diagnose you.
get something called a cactus cloth
it prevents them it really works
i m solving ur prob but u have fraindship with me?
ok, get one of those asian body wash cloths. When bathing lather the wash cloths well and scrub your body with it. Don't scrub so hard that you'll start to bleed. Nor do no scrub until you are red either. Do this to all parts on your body every time you bathe. After a week or so all the ingrown hairs should be gone. And then you'll end up with a hairy arm and leg. hahaha. But the reason for your ingrown hairs is cuz you don't clean your skin correctly and all the dirt and oil gets clogged where your hair suppose to grow out of. like a pimple it'll grow. So keep it clean and you're good to go.
