A member asked:

How do i treat an infected ingrown pubic hair? it is in a very uncomfortable area?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

If it is a localized, small infection plucking the hair out and applying a topical antibiotic should work. If there is a large abscess, see a doctor for treatment,

Hot moist compresses would help to loosen it up and allow you to remove it. Good Luck
