what can u do for the ingowing hair once it’s there?

Two products I’ve been using are ‘Hovans’ bikini cream (website is Hovansgroup.com)which is great for ingrown hairs anywhere on your body. Only potential problem is that its not available in all countries. I’m living in Australia and have found it here but its from the States and not sure if its shipped to the UK. Google it anyway..

Another product which I’ve found to work is called PFB Vanish (again google it). I bought mine on ebay. I get ingrown hairs mainly on my legs and really feel for everyone who suffers from them..

Good luck! x

hey i have tattoos from my elbow on up and i tend to shave it and i just recently got this ingrown hair! and it freakin kills! it wasnt small enough to just “pop” its become to big and its painful. Ive tried heating a needle and stabbing a hole but all that does is cause it to swell more…i really need a suggestion! should i just leave it be and let it do its toll? please help.

i hav a million on my knees n nothin works,help!

Q: It sounds like you’re talking about a sebaceous cyst– I’ve been dealing with those for years. Sebum (the white gunk) is an oily substance produced around your hair follicles to help keep your hair and skin from drying out. An excess of sebum can lead to an *extremely* painful lump. If it isn’t painful, you can let it just run its course and go away. If it is too painful for that (I tend to get them on the insides of my thighs, right near my crotch, so walking can make the pain unbearable), I recommend something like “Boil-Ease” cream to make it go away. As it shrinks, an ingrown hair is often much easier to see and reach. Popping sebaceous cysts (I learned the hard way) is not a good idea because they can burst inward, rather than out, and cause infections. Besides, popping those things is excruciating!

Ive suffered from ingrown hair for along time and i really dont know how to treat them. I have dots on my legs from the ingrowns and it wont go away and ive tried many products but nutin wrks 4 me. if anyone knows what i can do plz contact me and give me advice.

i have had ingrowing hair and skin reaction (bumps)on the back of my upper neck for over a year after stupidly wet shaving my head, i have tried alot of creams,anti razor bump stuff, but the most effective has been EURAX (HC) cream, this will ONLY reduce swelling within 24hrs. This cream is available over the counter from most pharmacy’s, like BOOTS, SUPERDRUG, ect… it contains Hydracotisone (HC) and mild steroids, Also for dry skin and some bump reduction ive tried AQUEOUS cream, (At all pharmacy’s) witch is Liquid Paraffin+ white soft paraffin. You can wash with this stuff like a liquid soap! Other than that i might try lazer treatment for perminant hair removal as i cant think of anything else??? good luck…

Try sanding them off.
I know, I know… but there is actually a product called the magic glove or something which is basically a really fine grade sandpaper (like, 600). It’s sterile, and you make a light, circular sanding motion with it.
It works pretty good on my legs, I wouldn’t recommend it for the bikini/facial areas. Maybe once a week or so or clean, dry skin (ie not in the morning or soon after a shower)
It’s not a magic fix, it takes a few treatments but it beats gouging holes in my legs looking for an invisible hair.

Do not shave against the grain, because it is bad and the wrong thing to do. You must never shave against the grain unless you like ingrown hairs, then if that is the case then disregard what I have said.

im 15 i’ve had ingrowns for 3 years now it’s at a point where i just can’t even put my swim suite on it’s so bad. i just don’t know what to do , i’ve tried exfoliating them but nothing happened, if any one can help it would be great

i have an in-grown hairs in my pubic area. i do shave with the grain, but that does not prevent it. i stopped shaving because the in-grown hairs wont go away. it has gotten to the point where it is very painful and when i try to pop it, white gunk and blood comes out. i have tried to pull the hair out with tweezers but can never get a hold of it, because it is not that visible. please help me

mindy. those are definately warts. not ingrown hairs.

I dont have any tip im sorry, i am actually learning about this due to that i have alot of bumps on my right thigh and dont really know what it is or how i got it.

this is a link to a picture of it.
cn anybody tell me if its ingrown hairs. and how can i get rid of it.

Penny,you obviously are too young to make smart decisions, i.e. shaving your ass, so dont make another mistake by having sex at your age!

I have this undrown hair problem on my legs and it’s a very big issue…as anyone who has it can confirm. they just appear out of nowhere and when I think I fnaly got rid of the last one, there’s another one coming up. I heard that Tea Tree Oil is good for healing the bumps created by ingrown hair but I never tried it. I never saw another girl with this problem and I thought I was the only one…. I think teh treatment does vary from one to another

pat, next time you shave make sure that you use a brand new blade. if the blade is dirty in any way and you cut or nick yourself, you’re just inviting germs to get into the area. and, try using lotion (with viatmin e) on the area for awhile. it tends to soften the skin up so that the hair will rise to the surface.
but, it sounds more like you have a boil rather than just a minor ingrown hair. i use a product called “boil ease” for that problem and it seems to work really good. it eases the pain after a day or so and then you can usually squeeze the **** out easier. i get it from cvs or walgreens and it’s inexpensive. hope that this advice helps you out.

Take a hot towel to the problem area, then dip a needle in antiseptic. Then take the needle and gently free the hair.

about a month ago i started using sugaring wax because it really did make my leg hairs thinner and they took longer to grow back but now i dont need to wax because i dont have hairs coming out of my legs, instead i am totally covered in ingrowns. they are ugly and it would take years for me to scrape them all away. its easier to squeeze thick hairs out but thin hairs have to be scraped out and there is no way on earth that i would be able to finance laser treatment.

I am 15 years old and I have hair bumps all over my legs is their anything I can do to get rid of them should I use a luffa schrub how do I get rid of this I dont like wearing shorts please help is their anything i can buy

I bought his new gizsmo from HSN its allea NO NO it actualy works, it hasa small thin wire which i guess gets hot enough to burn the hair up and as it dose itsends awave down through the hair, at this point she loves it, cost is $250.00, check it.It is supose to eventually eliminate all the hair permately
