I keep getting an ingrown hair in the same (pubic) area I HAVE TO shave here, so how do I stop it .....?

Question

from getting impacted in the SAME place ALL the time?
It's so gross............. would laser hair removal eliminate this issue or what?

Answer 1

Laser Hair Removal would be a great solution. If it is a "limited" area that you need to treat, that could also bring the price down dramatically. You can to go to http://www.HairRemovalForum.com, they have a number of different providers there and if you call them they can give you different price options.

Answer 2

remember to cleanse the area after you've shaved it (at beauty salons you'll find a lot of alcohol-based cleansers that kill bacteria on the skin). a lot of it is that people forget to clean off the area after shaving it, and that causes the ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal would eliminate the issue, but it is -very- expensive. If you're rich, I'd go for it, but if not, just keep shaving. Also, waxing avoids a lot of the problems that shaving gives you, and lasts 4 weeks. :)

Answer 3

My gyno says that if you shave too often and get ingrown hairs, they can turn into sebaceous cysts and you have to get those lanced...OUCH!!!!! Definitely shave with a bikini zone type gel, and after shaving (downward, always) rinse with cool/cold water. After you get out of the shower, apply an antibiotic cream like neosporin or polysporin, especially on the ingrown hair. Best to pluck it for now to get the root. Next time, try waxing, laser, or let it grow...the world will not end, if you don't shave as often. Also, I noticed that letting it grow for a couple weeks, then using a hair trimmer, you can't get quite as close, but it helps, lots easier, and quicker.

Try using Bikini Zone products, or start using an electric shaver instead of a razor. Laser hair removal is supposed to be permanent, but it's very expensive. It will probably cost about $2000 to do the entire bikini area. Each treatment costs about $350, and it takes about six or seven treatments to permanently remove the hair.

Answer 5

My wife Say's that this very common. Try have a bikini waxing done and it will usually clear it up and you can usually go back to shaving after that. Laser hair removal would eliminate this problem completely. They remove the roots. Good luck with this problem it can be very uncomfortable..

Answer 6

Just let your pubes grow out and yank out the offending one by the roots.
(You can stop shaving there for a couple of days can't you?)
And of course, the reason it's ingrown is because you're shaving so close that the hair is actually below the skin line and grows back into your skin.

Answer 7

Yes; laser hair removal is permanent; if you must remove the hair, and can afford the treatment, it's certainly the way to go.

Answer 8

laser removal would stop it. try changing from shaving to such products like Nair that remove hair without needing to shave. Worked for me, used to have the same problem.

Answer 10

my girls and I wax. but if you just have one nasty spot you just need to pluck. you can ice it first. Just know you have to grow out that little hair a bit, don't dig for it and keep it clean with alcohol till its up a little. I know some people are laughing
but its painful! (and sure, laser would keep it gone !)
