Basically it just means that the hair grows out of the pore but then somehow starts to grow back into another part of the skin. This happens to a lot of people who have curly hair. If you are in pain, then you can try plucking the hair when you get out of the shower or bath when your pores are open. I sometimes get ingrown hairs and this helps alot.

Its a hair that grows just below the top surface of your skin. Sometimes it can become inflamed and retain a littel fluid around the hair folicle.

A hair that doesnt poke out of the skin like it is supposed to. and it just keeps growing right under the skin. pretty painfull and sometimes they look sort of like acne.

its when the hair say like on your legs gets cut and when it starts to grow back dead skin is blocking it it will not be able to get through so there will be a bump and some times it can get really infected.

Sometimes when you shave your legs, a hair will start to grow back, but it doesn't grow out. It grows under the skin.

they grow inside and form a blacl head like bump on the affected area. to get rid of it you have to pluck it out with a tweezer

it's a hair follicle that is blocked and the hair can't get out and is just below the skin
squeeze it like a zit....so the hair can get out

hi, scrub your skin regularly,
especially after shaving/epilation, you will be saved from a lot of ingrowing hairs
