Question 1

how to get rid of hair follicle on viginai. its hard as a rock?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: You may have an infection since you describe it as "hard as a rock" although you didn't mention pain or redness. But in this situation, warm compresses are a reasonable 1st option. Failing that, you'll need to see your family doc. It's possible that you might have an infected cyst rather than ingrown hair. Waxing, depilatories, etc can help remove unwanted hair. Shaving increase risk for infection

Question 2

Bartholin's cyst: Sounds like a bartholin's cyst. It is benign.
If you take some sitz baths in warm water  it should resolve. If it gets bigger or painful, see your doctor.

Accepted Answer

: Syphilis doesn't show up with anything like this. Probably folliculitis or a sebaceous cyst. Keep your hands off (no squeezing etc) and see a doctor. Good luck.

Question 7

how does a "perm" affect my hair follicles?

Accepted Answer

It usually doesn't.: Perms are strong chemicals designed to change the physical characteristics of the hair shaft without damaging the follicle itself. It wouldn't make sense to cause damage to the hair-forming part, and most of these products have been extensively tested for safety. But they are cosmetics, not drugs, and allergic or hypersensitivity responses are possible. Try and see; otherwise, don't worry!

Question 8

how long does weed stay in your hair follicles?

Accepted Answer

Possibly months: In “pharmacokinetics of cannabinoids” by mcgilveray ij it is stated “hair tests are more likely to detect regular than occasional marijuana use. One study found that 85% of daily users tested positive for marijuana, versus 52% of occasional smokers (1-5 times per week).

Question 9

hair color damaged my hair follicles what can i do

Accepted Answer

Doctors can evaluate: One can see a dermatologist and a hair restoration specialist to get a couple of opinions on what can be done to help.

Question 10

do hair follicles heal if hair was pulled out of them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they heal: Hair falls from follicles normally. When hair is accidently pulled out, it can become red and inflamed, however no permanent damage results. The follicles are a permanent part of your scalp and all of your skin. After a few days, or a few weeks, the hair follicle will begin to regenerate a new strand of hair that will grow like before. Think of people who pluck or wax unwanted hair, it regrows. :)
