I have what i think are 3 ingrown hairs on my pubic area. it looks like there is pus in them and it is red around the area. are they ingrown hairs?

Well...: You can have a folliculitis (infection of hair follicles) and this is common during summer (hot months.) Cleaning with soap and water a couple times a day followed by keeping the area dry is helpful. Keep in mind that if you are sexually active this could be Herpes (unlikely but possible)
