Do u have to remove an ingrown hair?!


Question: Do u have to remove an ingrown hair?
OK i have one ingrown hair on my arm and it hurts its not red or anything it just hurts so do i have to remove it? thanks! :]

Answers:

I'd pop it. Wash the area well with warm water to soften the skin. Then swab the area with alcohol. With clean hands, try to pop the ingrown hair like how you'd pop a pimple. DO NOT FORCE IT! If it doesn't pop easily, then well....to be blunt, it's not ripe yet. Haha.

In serious cases, people have to go to the Doctors for this....but you're probably fine. It will either heal on it;s own, or pop. Up to you.



Yes, you should always remove ingrown hair. If you don't it may become infected and you might have to see a doctor. The easiest way to remove an ingrown hair is try and pluck the hair out then sort of push on the skin around it as you would for a pimple so that you can get the infected area clear and free of puss.



I'd try to pop it and use tweezers to take it out. and if it wont come out try a needle i know that seams like it would hurt but it doesnt. have your mom or somebody do it if you need to :) make sure you wash it and put a bandaid and nesoporn :)



its just an annoyance, and if you remove it itll stop hurting
