How Do I Get Rid Of Ingrown Hairs In Pubic Region?

Ingrown hairs in pubic area is caused by pubic hair that curls back or grows sideways into the skin. Usually, pubic hair grows out perfectly from pubic hair follicles but when ingrown hairs block the hair follicles, pimples may develop along with redness of the surrounding skin. Pubic pimples, like all other types of pimples, are painful, itchy and may leave permanent scars if you are not careful.

How Are Ingrown Hairs in the Pubic Region Caused?
Shaving the pubic area with a lousy pubic shaver is the most common cause of ingrown hairs in the pubic area because most people never bother to purchase a proper shaver that does not cause irritation to the skin at the pubic area. Ingrown hairs can also be developed when hair is broken off under the skin during waxing and tweezing.

Other causes of ingrown pubic hair include:

- Tight undergarments or pants
- Dry skin
- Thick, curly or stiff hair
- Pubic hair follicles that are clogged with oil or dead skin cells

How Do I Get Rid of the Ingrown Hairs in the Pubic Region?
There are a couple of ways you could treat ingrown pubic hair. The first method requires you to apply a hot cloth or hot compress on your ingrown pubic hair. This is a common method to deal with inflammation but it also helps to soften the pubic hair under your skin so that it may rise above the surface. If the ingrown hairs do not surface after a couple of of minutes, repeat a couple of more times. Should the problem persist%, try again in a couple of hours or another day as the pubic hair may not be long enough for you to extract. Whatever happens, you should never try to force or squeeze the hair out in any way as this may cause bleeding and permanent scarring. Once you are able to see a tiny end of the ingrown hair on the surface of your skin, use a pair of sterilized tweezers to get rid of the hair. Wash your pubic area, towel dry and apply some antiseptic cream to prevent infections.

Another method of removing ingrown pubic hair is the use of a hair removal lotion that is certified safe to use on your pubic region by your dermatologist or pharmacist. These creams help to dissolve the ingrown pubic hairs under your skin without causing further skin irritation.

What To Avoid During Your Recovery Period
It is important that you avoid wearing any tight undergarments or pants until all your ingrown hairs have completely healed. If you discover that you tend to develop ingrown pubic hairs just by wearing tight clothes, I suggest that you purchase clothes made of softer material or totally scrapping tight clothes from your wardrobe to prevent ingrown hairs. Although some people recommend using wax to get rid of the roots of the ingrown pubic hair, I think it will cause more skin irritation as the wax strips may bust open your pubic pimples. So please be smart and do not use them if you have pubic pimples. Last but not least, refrain from scrubbing your pubic area with a shower sponge to exfoliate the skin down there as you may cause damage to your sensitive skin.
