Q: black mark under skin after ingrown hair should i be concerned and try to pull it out?

: I don't recommend pulling out the ingrown hair or disturbing the black mark. If there's redness or some pus, apply warm compresses, pat dry &amp; apply an antibacterial ointment. If not improved after several days, have a physician examine &amp; advise you.
