How do you get rid of an ingrown hair in your pubic area?!


Question:

How do you get rid of an ingrown hair in your pubic area?

I have an ingrown hair that has been getting progressively worse for about a month now. I thought that eventually it would grow out on it's own, but it has been a very long time and it is getting enflamed and painful. I was wondering how you remove such a problem, it is right on my bikini line. I have tried to pick it out with a pin but that only hurts and I can't seem to find the hair itself. Is there any other option besides a doctor and surgery?


Answers:

1] put a warm soak on it for 10 minutes, after your bath or shower [ so your area is clean ]
2] soak with a warm moist cloth for ten minutes
3] wear your glasses or use a magnifying glass to find the hair
4] 'tease' the hair loose, and then pluck it [ always pluck the ingrown hair out, or it can grow back in! ]
5] apply antibiotic ointment
6] wear looser panties and shorts til inflammation goes down.
