A member asked:
I shaved 'there' yesterday morning and noticed a little bump before bed. it feels like 'stuck' hair, so i am guessing it is an ingrown hair from shaving 'there'. how can i reduce the pain and swelling?

Hot compresses might help...simply run tolerably hot water over your wash cloth, wring it out, fold, then apply to the affected area for a few minutes at a time. Repeat this hourly during the daytime, if convenient to do so. The heat enhances blood flow to the area. If the pain worsens, it warrants a visit to one's physician.
