Allowing the hair to grow in order to cause the hair to come out straighter and then manually removing ingrown hairs with special tweezers is the best way. When tweezing, be sure to pull the hair out by the roots. Do not allow the hair to break below the skin surface.
Try a topical antibiotic cream with anesthetic for the pain. If that does not work, use the raw side of a potato peeling and tape it to the effected area. leave it on for 24hours and check it .starch it in the potato skin can help draw it out faster.
Make a paste (poultice) with clay and a few drops of eucalyptus oil to draw out the hair and disinfect the fluid that has accumulated to trap and contain the infection. Apply at night and cover with a sterilized band-aid. The next morning, gently wash off the clay. Do not scrub the bump and apply a small amount of eucalyptus oil to the bump and let air-dry.
After about three nightly clay applications, the tiny hair will emerge from the bump and some pus may be seen as it is drawn out of the hair follicle. If the bump does not respond to the treatment by the clay , then apply propolis liquid extract, or colloidal silver to the bump to aggressively drive down infection, which is causing the swelling.

The quickest way to rid yourself of ingrown hairs is to use a specialised treatment like Priva Shave for women. You will see visible results in 24 hours or so...

Pull them out with tweezers. You may have to flick the hait up with a pin first. Nads do a spray to help prevent them too and exfoliating regularly should help.

exfoliate regularly, especially if you wax:)
you can also buy some lotion by st ives which apparently helps to stop this problem
