How do I get rid of ingrown hair , probably from shaving... its been there for probably a month now.?

scratch your nail over it - this will expose the hair - then you can tweeze it. It may not be ready - I would take a hot shower and then immediately afterward take a nice steril pin and poke it. Then kind of try to scratch it with the pin point. It will hurt but eventually the hair will be exposed - it will be like a pimple if it is really irritated. puss and stuff will be in there with the hair. Pinch it if you can. This can help.
