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
