what's a quick way to heal an ingrown hair or skin bumps from beard?

Accepted Answer

Soak it: The key to this is to get the hair to the surface.  Hot soaks will usually work but could take a few days to do.  Soak with hot washclothes 15 minutes every 3-4 hours and it should surface and go away.  There is also something available over the counter called outgrow that I have head some use successfully.  I hope it helps.

Question 8

hi i think i have an ingrown hair on my vaginal lip, is there any fast ways i can heal it from home without going to see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Warm soaks: This would be an unusual place for an ingrown hair to occur.  Quite possibly this is actually a small inflamed cyst in this area.  Sometimes frequent warm water soaks (don't burn yourself!), such as 3 or 4 times a day will encourage this to open and drain.  If in the course of the next several days this is improving, wonderful.  If over this time frame it is worsening, then see a physician.

Question 9

i had  ingrown hair between my labia and the inner fold of my leg that turned into a boil. it burst and drained. now there is a hole there. how should i treat it? should i put neoporin in it or will it heal on it's own. have you ever heard of this?

Accepted Answer

It : It is not uncommon for boils to burst and drain. This can be curative in some cases. Putting neosporin on the affected are is not a bad idea. If the area is still tender and red and not starting to close after a few days of keeping it clean and putting neosporin on it, then you may need oral antibiotics. However before then if you have fever or the wound looks infected (red, hot, more pus) then you need to see a medical professional right away for treatment. 
Good luck.

Question 10

believe i have a infected ingrown hair on leg. hig red spot big bump with yellow pus coming out. so sore and hard and tight. what can i do to heal it?

Accepted Answer

Abscess?: It sounds like you have an abscess that may require drainage, and maybe an antibiotic if quite large, surrounding redness, or fever. There are no reliable home remedies or over-the-counter treatmetns. See a doctor ASAP, and in the meantime do not squeeze or probe it or attempt any treatment yourself.
