    Default the ingrown hair that wouldnt go away...

    warning... gory details that some people may not want to hear....

    I have this ingrown hair, I think its an ingrown hair anyway. Its right next to my nice little triangel and it looks very ugly. Its been there a little while now, I thought it was going away after the first time I worked on it. But now it is bleeding. Normally my ingrown hairs are just under the skin and I can see them but they don't look bad, or they just look like pimples. This one looks like a big ugly pimple with no white part, just red and a little touch of purple. It itched a little bit ago so I scrached it and it started bleeding! There is no pus though, so I don't know what is going on.

    basicly I have no idea what is going on or what I should do. It dosnt hurt or anything, I just dont want it to scar really bad (prolly will scar temporarily anyway) or get infected or something crappy like that.

    I have one too in the exact area. I lanced it but the dead skin is still there...once the redness goes away, exfoliate the hell out of the biatch!

    Yep, I used to get those bastards all the time wheb i used to shave...part of the reason I got laser removal. Trust me, everythings ok, its just that the hair follicle is super clogged...dont pick...just allow the inflammation to go away and exfoliate the area you shave often!!!!!!!!

    I love getting these in a sick kind of way. I scratch at it really hard with my nail until I get the hair out, blood or not, then I tweeze it and it heals very quickly.

    wow, sounds a bit masochistic motherdaisy....

    mine has gotten a lot smaller now, its almost compleatly flat and if I push on it there is just a tiny bump underneath. its also not as red now. I do think there will be a dark purple/greyish scar for a while though... oh well, at least its not infected..

    thanks.

    Had one of those big buggers that stayed all inflammed for months!!! when i finally dug it out with a needle there was about 10-15 hairs all tangled up together.

    Recommend to try at it with a sharp (pref. sterilised) needle (NOT fingernails!!!) to flick them out then pull out with tweezers. If in doubt, see your local friendly beautician. :o)

    Have fun xxx (and always shave box in downwards strokes!!!)

    Every few days I spread a thin coat of OXY Maximum acne medication on the shaved area so the pore is less likely to close up.
