    Default Ingrown hairs (again, sorry)

    I had a proper panic last week after a bump appeared on my labia, paranoid as usual wondering wtf it was, and I did what you're not supposed to do and popped it-I only did it just to make sure that's what it was, reasoning if it DID pop, then it was just an infected folicle and not something more sinister.

    However I've just been reading things about how you're not supposed to pop them as it can turn them into cysts and make them more infected. I've cleaned it with salt water and put antiseptic cream on it.

    I already have had an ingrown hair turn into a cyst and It's still there years later. It's right at the top of my thigh in my groin, and a customer noticed it last week-he said it just looked like a hole in my skin! I should have known better than to fiddle about with the new one.

    I've been to the clinic who said the old one's nothing to worry about, doesn't need removing etc.

    I also have tiny little bumps on my labia,like very small skin tags, barely noticable. I told the clinic this too and they said again,nothing to worry about just uneven skin, no worries etc but all this together now makes me feel ugly and dirty and depressed (sorry to be melodramatic!) like my pussy's just , I don't know...Battered!

    Thing is everyone who sees my pussy and comments, says It's beautiful, I have one that's the shape of a designer vag, the blemishes are barely noticable (apart from this new one!) and I know I'm being stupid but I feel like they spoil me even though other people don't.

    Does anybody have any advice on how I can stop the new ingrown hair getting worse, how I can not feel so ugly about this , and also, if there's anything can be done abot the little bumps/skin tags/uneven skin whatever they are?I'm scared if I go back to the clinic and ask they'll laugh at me!Would anything that's meant to work on skin tags work on them, or would it be too harsh for my already stupidly sensitive skin?

    I've been so worried over the festive period, more shifts meant more shaving and my skin isn't happy!
    Sorry for TMI or boring post!

    I've noticed a couple bumps after waxing or wearing uncomfortable panties or pants. I used to run to the doctor but told it was ingrown hair.

    For this reason I always wear cotton panties.
    I always get a professional wax.
    I always use a gentle exfoliation and ingrown hair serum.
    I try to shower soon after sweating and wear moisture wicking pants.

    Notice that you said you shave. Maybe you can try waxing or laser hair removal.

    Also maybe stress?

    i just saw skin tag removal cream at the pharmacy last time i was there..never had one, but maybe see if it works??
    people with coarse curly hair like me get ingrown hairs a lot :/
    but i do notice that certain things help prevent it:
    exfoliate regularly
    really soak the area well in hot water before you shave
    use really new, sharp, good quality razors and try and it get it all off with as few strokes as you can

    to treat it is harder though. i hear that men who get ingrown hairs on their face benefit from retin A ( idk about using it on the pubic area tho..?)
    i also hear they can give you a steroid cream
    probably not much help, but as a woman we alllll get ingrown hairs and razor burn! the girls i work with put makeup and self tanner on their pubic mounds to cover it up and make it look more even

    Laser removal did wonders for me. My skin has nvr liked the razor, but the areas where I have had the laser treatments (underarms & full Brazilian) still need a touchup w/ the razor here&there since I didn't complete but the burn/ingrowns are gone completely. Much lower mx from both a cosmetic & hygenic standpoint.

    Gotta say tho I have always wondered how sm guys remedy the bumps & whatnot on their face from shaving. I have not yet had the courage to ask any1 but whatever they do, considering the beating your face takes every day from the elements, it's got to be worth a try for the pubic region.

    I haven't been able to afford laser yet, and waxing doesn't work due to the growth period, so I've stayed with shaving. I rarely get ingrowns, I always exfoliate well and uses an "anti ingrown cream" right after then either jojoba oil/coconut oil&moisturizing.

    Either go to a dermatologist or an Esthetician. This is a good product to use as well:

    Do you shave or wax? I shave down first, then left to right, never completely against the grain. If i am having a special date and want to be smooth small strokes against- just until the hair catches then lift and begin again. (So neurotic because ive had terrible shaving issues forever and i finally figure out how to deal) This is the best product in the ENTIRE world. http://www.amazon.com/Wet-Lubes-Intt.../dp/B002R5BCRG

    It literally makes your hair thinner if you use it every day. I had a bad ingrown hair and it chilled for idk, maybe6 months. I tried to "pop" it but it wouldn't go (so many depressed days feeling ugly and wondering how i could bare being nude) and after many months I had left it alone my MAN was like "that thing looks ready" and it was so gross. I was upset and felt like everyone could see a little pea sized lump. Mine was on my panty line And sooooo painful. Don't mess with it and it will surface....eventually.

    That shave cream is the best. It will solve all of your problems. I've recommended it to 2 black girls that have super curly hair and broke out every time they shaved and they swear by it too.

    I also use http://www.amazon.com/Schick-Hydro-5.../dp/B003BVINQI Amazing. Plz try the shave gel because it is magical.

    (Sorry if tmi ! Attempting to relate to a terrible problem!!!)

    Edit: you only need a pea size drop for your bikini! I had one bottle for nearly a year and used it on legs too!

    I don't shave. Waxing is the best. Keeps my skin pretty. Shaving isn't safe.

    Most of them use really sharp razors which is what stops the irritation and they use warm towels to open their pores and to make the hairs softer. It's the same thing you're supposed to do for the private area as well. But most girls do it wrong which is why they get irritated. It's not good to go back over the area which is why if your razor was hella sharp, it'd be no need to and you wouldn't get ingrown hairs nor irritation.

    Exfoliation also helps before shaving. So much.

    i always wanted to ask the girls who wax..how do you do the whole waxing thing, and fit that in with dancing? considering you have to wait til the hair is a certain length and you'd have to work with a lot of stubble and bush. never tried it because i just didn't think it was feasible with dancing, esp at a nude club

    If you go to a professional waxer, usually your wax lasts 6-8 weeks. Once it starts growing back you get it done again because it only has to be half an inch to catch on the wax. Because it's so low, no one can tell what's going on. And some guys like to see whisks of hair. You can always use the nair formula for self wax. It works really well. I've done both ways.

    Laser removal for darker skin can require many more treatments and may not be as effective. I am bi-racial and although my skin is not super dark, I was told that it was not recommended. I have had problems with ingrown hairs and cysts, which can still be a problem with waxing as well. Scars and keloids in particular are a concern for those with a darker complexion. Some of these "professionals" will try to sell you on their treatments anyway so I would recommend getting a few consultations first, especially from places with an excellent reputation. Sorry, I am a registered nurse and I do not try to be preachy, just informative

    Yeah but that's not for every single person who has brown skin. There's ways to test sensitivity to skin, and if you've had cuts and whatever in the past and they heal a certain way then you usually can tell what type of skin you'll have. I've know many brown skin folks to have things done and never had issues with scarring or keloids. Even with implants, a lot of brown skinned women were afraid because people told them they may get keloids scars and whatever else when that's not the case. I only knew one black girl out of many who got keloids. I got implants and almost don't even have a trace of the incision. So it depends on your body. And how sensitive your skin is. There's even brown skinned folks I know who had laser tattoo removal and still no scarring. So yes it's possible but it depends on your own skin not on a race of people.
