how do i stop ingrown hair, i have it everywhere...?

Question

my legs, my armpits, down there, and even my face!!

Answer 1

use an anit-ingrown product, there are a few on the market. Or get electrolyosis or laser hair removal which are both permanent hair removal. If too expensive try epilators. If it doesn't work get hold of an exfoliating glove and scrub in circular movements and (a bit harder on rough areas, softer on ur face). Do that everyday.
I suffer from ingrowns too, though only wherever i wax or shave. Waxing is bad to me.

Answer 2

Ewww... grosss....sounds like you have a severe case of folliculitis which can cause acne and other problems

I have gotten this on occasion but no where near as severe as you'll see in the pictures from the link I put on here. When this happens I make sure I'm using a clean razor and a high quality skin care product (www.aveda.com) Then I let my hair grow for a while. This usually clears up the problem for me.

Your skin is probably getting irritated because of your poor diet and what you choose to shave with, and not properly prepping for a shave, although the makers of Barbisol and Edge gel don't want you to know this.

I would make sure you are eating the right foods, exercising and drinking the right liquids, and see a skin care specialist, preferably one who isn't trained in western medicine. Western practitioners just wanna get you hooked on their prescription drugs

Answer 3

It is possible you have folliculitis. It looks a lot like ingrown hairs. Check out this link and read about it. If you do, you need to get some anti-biotics to treat it internally.

Answer 4

I used to do the same thing. You seriously just have to stop. I have permanent scarring on my face and shoulders from constantly picking at my acne and blackheads. I can cover most of it up, and even if noone else notices the scars, I still do. Possibly come up with a new obsession. Try using facial and body scrubs to rid yourself of blackheads and then you'll have less temptation. Good luck, I know it's hard.

Answer 5

i think there are products you can get at walgreens & places that treat ingrowns. they say waxing will reduce if not eliminate ingrowns though so you may want to try it if you have a big wallet

Answer 6

I don't know if your a guy or girl, yet there is a cream that you can get from your doctor.

Guy: the cream, and on your face, make sure your razor is clean and replace regularly.
Girl: I said ouch, at this one, but my doc told me to get waxed once in awhile, legs, down there. cream and same with the razor.

Answer 7

wash with palm-olive soap.. the original formula.. do not shave for one week.. your skin should begin to push all the hairs out.. you may have to help them.. scratch'em open.. the once you get no more red bumps.. ingrown hairs.. shave like normal.. and use cocoa butter every night .. continue the palm-olive.. i do it everynight because i used to get problems too.. my friends grandma told me .. it works.!!

Answer 8

Wax the hair off, it pulls it out from the inside so when it grows back it isn't split from maybe shaving or using nair.

Answer 9

i know when you shave "down there" you should shave the way your hair grows...that way you don't get ingrown hairs
