A member asked:
I have an ingrown hair that has come back in the exact same spot after 2 surgical removals. what should i do next? it is very painful and frustrating.

Bacterial supression: If it keeps coming back you should try to treat bacteria on the surface of the skin. You could try scrubbing with hibiclens or using a topical antibiotic or sometimes suppressive oral antibiotics are needed. Protecting the integrity of the skin is important too.
