Black mark under skin after ingrown hair should i be concerned and try to pull it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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 & apply an antibacterial ointment. If not improved after several days, have a physician examine & advise you.
