I'm a 25 year old male and apparently have a real problem with ingrown hairs on my face. this leads to acne breakouts.
i apologize for this being so gross......but when i squeeze these blemishes hairs come out that are literally embedded in the usual "stuff" you find in pimples, so i'm assuming it is ingrown hairs that are clogging my pores. it seems like these hairs are getting caught in my pores and are not so much growing back into my face, but instead are not even making it above the surface of my skin to begin with, and cause infections because they are blocking my pores. i only shave the sides of my face (where this problem is most prevelant) about once a week but it still happens, i'm assuming because i have such fine, curly facial hair. Would using a depilatory cream like Nair or something be better then shaving? I was thinking it might since it could dissolve the hair before it gets a chance to clog my pores and lead to infection. Anyone have any input?
