Depends on how it is ingrown. If you can see it running under the skin you can use a pin and pull it up through the skin then use the tweezers and pull it out completely.

If it has made a sore like a pimple then you can use the pin to break open the skin and squeeze it until it pops out. Then use the tweezers to pull it the rest of the way.

Put an antiseptic like alcohol on it.

Im afraid that maybe i might have mrsa, i have a bump on my stomach that hurts and looks like an ingrown hair?

Why in the world would you think it is MRSA? Have you been exposed to an MRSA patient? Do you work in a hospital? Has this been treated with antibiotics and shown no change?

Instead of mindless worrying, go see your GP and ask him/her to yank/cut it out.

Look up "hypochondriac" in the dictionary, then see your doctor.

There is no reason to suspect MRSA. Somebody should smack your mom.

Pea-sized lump just below the sternum. Is this a cause for concern or maybe just an ingrown hair?

I just noticed tonight that I have a pea-sized hard lump just about 2 inches below my sternum. It is pinkish in color and is tender to the touch. I would say the majority is below skin level and it is slightly elevated. Any ideas if this would be a boil, in-grown hair or similar? I don't want to squeeze out any puss, etc for it may cause more issues.

Could this be a simple infection or pimple?

I think it just came on in the last 24 hours as I was daily and have never noticed anything at all. It is fairly noticable and as I stated, tender to the touch.

Pea-sized lump just below the sternum. Is this a cause for concern or maybe just an ingrown hair?

It sounds like a pimple. If left untreated (unpopped, as an example), there is a chance it could form into a boil. A boil will be large (the size of a big pee or larger) and painful. It would not be a cyst, as they tend to be non-painful in nature. Hope this helps!

Pea-sized lump just below the sternum. Is this a cause for concern or maybe just an ingrown hair?

i think you are right. its a pimple, ingrown hair, or some such and i have had the same thing on me in other places. i would put a small amount of topical antibiotic ointment such as neosporin on it a few times a day for the next few days. that should clear it up. if it does not, please do not hesitate to see someone about it. good luck

I wax my face bc of facial hair but now all of a sudden it looks like i am breaking out from ingrown

what can i do to get rid of the hair for good besides lase hair removal? what do i do to get rid of the bumps? how can i get rid of dark spots from break outs, bumps and facial hair? i want even clear skin!!!!

I wax my face bc of facial hair but now all of a sudden it looks like i am breaking out from ingrown hairs?

Use a mild exfoliant on your face to remove dead skin that may be over the hair shaft. If you use a toner and exfoliant regulary after waxing you probably wont have this problem and it will keep your skin looking fresh and healthy.

I used to buy this paste for my husband for his ingrown hairs, it's actually made for BLACK skin. Because black people's hair grows much more slowly, it doesn't have enough time to surface. I can't remember for the life of me what it's called, it's like a salve or wax that you rub against the growth of the hair, and fills the pore and the hair can keep from getting trapped.

You can also try tea tree oil. I heard it's really good for the skin. I personally use witch hazel to make my pores smaller.

Exfoliate before you do any type of hair removal on your face. Use aloe vera gel for the spots you have now.

Laser is your only option for (somewhat) permanent removal. Waxing will cause you to break out. You should find a salon that does threading! It's much better tha waxing because waxing also pulls you skin and in long term is not good for your skin.

Some Asian, Indian, or Middle eastern salons, and now days the upper end spas have threading...

You should definitely look into it.

DO NOT...DO NOT... DO NOT SHAVE YOUR FACE!!!!!

I wax my face bc of facial hair but now all of a sudden it looks like i am breaking out from ingrown hairs?

There are only two permanent methods - the BEST has clearly been electrolysis. The only proven, non discriminating method. The other is laser and since that is out I guess you have to go for the electrolysis. Just be sure to get soemone that has a really good rep and knows what they are doing. PS: I have done a lot of research on this. If you have darker/heavier hair on your face (there has to be some contrast skin/hair - darker skin hopefully has darker hair)I would reconsider and go laser- I just did the laser (Luminous) on my underarms ('cause I hate shaving) and after one treatment for $70 (on "sale) I have had almost NO hair growth for over two weeks - WOW!. If you don't have a lot of hair or have lighter hair you have to go with the electrolysis.

Sorry, that can be soo disheartening. Maybe try seeing a doctor if feasible. It could be a hormonal problem %26amp; they have drugs to balance out hormones. Best Wishes to you.

I wax my face bc of facial hair but now all of a sudden it looks like i am breaking out from ingrown hairs?

well i tweeze my hairs but becareful if you wanna do that it hurts obviously. Umm.. the bumps just keep your face clean you get the bumps becuase it's probably infected. To get rid of the dark spots you can use proactiv if you want or my personal fav cocoa butter. Just don't put all the chemicals on your face it will only make it worse go to your dermatologist hun!

I wax my face bc of facial hair but now all of a sudden it looks like i am breaking out from ingrown hairs?

If you want to avoid laser, try threading as an alternative to waxing. It takes more time, but the results are like waxing, with less irritation to the skin (the wax pulls on your skin, threading only pulls the hairs). To help curb instances of ingrown hairs, exfoliate regularly - the hairs can curl into the skin due to skin that has not yet shed.

Another person mentioned aloe vera gel - great stuff. I also recommend adding a couple of drops of tea tree oil. Both will help your skin to remain clear, and curb the dark marks. Higher quality products can be found at nutrition and health food stores. Some friends of mine swear by using a little Vitamin E oil on healing breakouts to cut down on the dark marks.

okay so...waxing your face is disgusting! Lazer hair removal is a good idea but sometimes it can get expensive...Maybe you should be like a man and shave your face.... (gross!)

Is nair good to use under your arm to prevent ingrown hair?

Not good at all for that.

Is nair good to use under your arm to prevent ingrown hair?

No, Nair doesn't really help ingrown hairs. Try exfoliating under your arms 2-3 times per week. Exfoliation help prevent ingrown hairs.

Is nair good to use under your arm to prevent ingrown hair?

Nair is good for that but u need to look for the Nair that is an all over the body. If not, when you use it in other places of the body, it may cause irritation. Hope this helps.

Is nair good to use under your arm to prevent ingrown hair?

Yeah, nair works wonders. My sister swears by it

Is nair good to use under your arm to prevent ingrown hair?

Personally Nair is not good for me, the hair does come off when removed but you can actually see the roots under the skin.. well on me at least.

Have you tried this before? If not, do a small test because a lot of peoples skin is very sensitive to that and can cause awful rashes.

IF you have used it before (legs or something) and it works good for you, I would say yes use it under you're arms as long as it doesn't say not to on the bottle. If you're body responds well to it elsewhere, it will probably do the same under you're arms. :)

I use a bikini shaving gel for under my arms to help prevent this. Also changing razors more often. The bikini product is more sensitive to ingrown hair problems so it works pretty good.

nair burns really bad!!! i would go get waxed if i were you! i hurts a lil but is sooo worth it! and lasts for a long time

Is nair good to use under your arm to prevent ingrown hair?

Nair does not prevent ingrown hair. To remove hair without getting ingrown hair, wax it professionally (don't let an amateur do it, this will just make the ingrown hair worse). And to get rid of ingrown hair, the best thing to do is to exfoliate the area and moisturize it. Try exfoliating right after a shower when your skin is just slightly damp and the dead skin cells can come off easier with a loofah. you will see a big difference. good luck!

Not usually. It depends on how much hair is at the armpit.

I have a really ugly ingrown hair.... how do i get rid of it?

If you try to pull it out with a pair of tweezers you run the risk of breaking the hair and leaving the end still embedded, which could cause further infection. Take loads of hot salty baths, but I suggest that maybe you will need some anti-biotics to clear it up properly.

Put some hot water on it, but be careful not to burn yourself, and gently squeeze.
