What to do when you have a pubic ingrown hair? warm water compresses? located on mons pubis inner side of lip
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hot sitz bath: Sit in a tub or hot bath water which will eventually soften the infected hair "bump" and hasten resolution. This is why pubic hairs should be clipped above the hair line and not shved so that they do not curl back into the skin and get infected.
