A member asked:

Can an ingrown hair cause golf ball size infection overnight with muscle, joint, and leg pain or is it more likely a bug bite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Body hair is very superficial and simple abscesses within a hair root will not achieve such size or discomfort. What it is exactly would require an exam as it could well be a deep abscess that needs draining or prescription meds.
