I would not consider it a useful medication for the stated problem. The common germs involved would likely be resistant to this med.

Use antibiotics in general as recommended/prescribed, usual duration is 5-10 days depending on type of infection being treated, unless having a superficial infection, antibiotics are not generally used for ingrown hairs.
