Answer 1

Yank it out or have someone help you.

Answer 2

Just make sure it is an ingrown hair. A pest control tech once thought he had an ingrown hair and opened it. Come to find out, it was a brown recluse bite. Once opened it spread very quickly and started killing the tissue all around his knee. Very painful. If it is indeed an ingrown hair, I would open it, remove the hair with tweezers and a disinfected sewing needle, then put perozide or alcohol on it. Keep it clean and if needed use neosporin or something with an antibiotic type treatment on it.

Answer 3

Sometimes you may think its an ingrown hair, when it is actually a gland that gets clogged causing the hair to grow inward rather than outward. This can and may be caused by some food toxins.
it interferes with your sebaceous glands; these secrete oily matter for lubricating hair and skin.
Try contacting a dietician rather than a dermatologist.

Answer 4

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

Answer 5

I used to scrape the skin right off them with my fingernail. Hurts a little but would heal pretty fast. Once the hair is exposed no need to pluck it.

Answer 6

Just use a pair of tweezers and pull the hairs out.
