Question 1

i have ingrown hair in my pubic area so i let them grow out, now their is few bumps but a lot of the hair are paired together to grow, should i rip them?

Accepted Answer

Ingrown hair: If the hair has grown out, it will not pierce through the follicular wall or the curly end will not stick back into the skin to cause a folliculitis. Let the hairs grow out and don't cut them or pluck them. If you do, they will stick in the side of the skin and cause inflammation, pimples, and cysts. If some are sticking back into the skin try to pull the end free.

Question 2

just pulled an inch long ingrown hair from chin. how can hair grow healthy like that under skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, can grow very l: But usually irritating to skin, and usually results in a blocked oil gland. Will heal quickly after hair is liberated.

Question 3

what causes an ingrown hair on your body, and how to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Hairs sometimes grow a little wrong and turn inward becoming ingrown. They form little pimple like bumps. Usually squeezing them will get the gooey stuff and the hair out. You should not have to squeeze hard to express them...If painful or infected (happens occasionally) see your doc for help.

Question 4

how do i treat the wound from ingrown hair so that it will not recur? there seems to be an infection because the area where hair is supposed to grow is swollen first and has pus with blood

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You can't fix it yourself. If your symptoms have been worsening like this, you need to see your doctor for an evaluation to see what's going on.

Question 5

can a pimple grow on or under a mole? i have a mole that recently started hurting and stinging like a pimple or an irritated ingrown hair recently.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Absolutely.  If it persists, you should see your family physician or a dermatologist.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

DR exam: Use warm, moist packs for about 15 min 4 times per day for today and then make an apt to see your health care provider, this is prob an infection and will need treatment.

Question 8

tingling around my whole body especially my face and private part for over a month. have discharge and an ingrown hair... itchy around my mons pub?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked/try: Discharge and a ingrown hai needs to be checked as ther may be infection may need to be treated with topical or oral antibiotics.
Shaving,lack of moisture of the skin,embedded oil in hair follicle or dead skin cell build up can cause it 
Meanwhile you can try to keep it clean by soap and water when you baithe,put warm compresses,you may be able to lift ingrown hair with a twwezer or by your doctor

Question 9

how can i shave and not get ingrown hairs? how can i treat ingrown hair w/o scaring myslef?

Accepted Answer

Shaving issues...: Shaving might cause problems in some people which include ingrown hairs, inflammation, infections. My recommendation is to probably use alternative ways to get rid of the hair if the problem is recurrent. You might need to see a Dermatologist and consider permanent hair removal treatment.

Question 10

should i get my ingrown hair drained?

Accepted Answer

If it is oozing: If you have an abscess get the hair pulled and drain the pus.  Your doctor will perform an incision and drainage (i and d) if need be.  You may be infected and drainage with antibiotics.  See your doctor.
