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
