Ingrown hair: Apply warm moist compresses several times a day. Keep the surrounding skin from becoming contaminated by applying a tiny amount of rubbing alcohol to destroy any staph bacteria. You can apply antibacterial ointment to the lesion daily. If worsening redness,swelling or pain develop, see a physician or surgeon for treatment which may include oral antibiotics and/or drainage of the pustule.
