You can pluck it out if this is a rare occurence. There are special razors and treatments for this if it happens often though. Its called psuedofoliculitis barbiae as a regular happening to the skin. Exfoliation of the skin will reduce the chances of hairs becoming ingrown. But in the case of psuedo, there are items in the ethnic hair section of stores for this since african-americans are more prone to the condition than whites. Its okay for everyone though.

locate a pair of tweezers and pluck it...usually an ingrown hair will look like an inverted "u" with both arms in the skin...
as for prevention (of ingrown hairs), i don't have an answer for that
BTW...might not be a bad idea to dip the tweezers into some rubbing alcohol to sterilize before plucking

tweezers - pull out the hair, put something inflamed/infected skin on it to clean and sanitise it. In future save with sharp blades and in the direction the hair grows, so on you face - shave down, not up.
