The reason that you are getting ingrown hairs is because you are shaving against the hair, you must shave with the hair and you will eliminate the problem. But since you have them now, you will need to put a hot compress on the affected areas. Over time they will turn into a hard deposit that will rise to the surface and come out eventually. They can get very painful,so make sure you shave with the hairs. The way the hair is growing is the way you need to shave.

Ingrown hairs dont have to be a big deal. I used to wax and it caused me to get them all the time.
I learned if you squeeze the affected area, (like a zit) sorry to be graphic, the hair follicle comes up out of the skin very easily. the if anything left under your skin you can get the tweezers and gently pull it out and it comes out very easy.
Voila, the ingrown hair is gone, im sure if you try this it will work! and there is no scarring.

try shaving, in the direction of the hair growth, and that minimizes the ingrown hairs
