What's the best way to treat ingrown hairs in order to get them out and stop them coming back? I want to remove hair either by shaving or epilating but will that cause more ingrown hair? Whats the best method of hair removal? - without costing the earth. I was wondering if it is possible to get a cream (not a hair removing cream as such) but one that will permenantly reduce the amount of hair. I have dark hair, and more than my fair share!!

I sympathise entirely! Try using a depilating cream - they don't really work below the skin on me, but should prevent ingrowing hair. If you have ingrowing hair (or like I have where the pesky beggars grow ALONG just under the skin - grr.) then just make sure you've soaked the area for a while so the skin is softer and pull it out from under the skin by scratching gently with your fingernail across the the hair.
If you find anything better, then let me know! ;)

You get ingrowing hairs out by using a sewing needle and gently sliding it under the hair, if you manage to get it between where the hair comes out the pore and where it goes back into the skin then you can pull it out. If you're doing it properly it doesn't hurt.
I'd go for electrolysis; its the least painful way of permenantly reducing hair. Waxing or an epilatior would eventually work but they just pull the hairs out by the roots til eventually they stop growing back and thats too much pain for me!

in case you acquire the hair out attempt to be high quality. in case you position on tight pants or underclothes you'd be extra likely to get yet another...... if swelling and an infection dont bypass away in some days likely yet another hair nevertheless impacted
