After shaving, how do I get rid of the ingrown hair?

Answer 1

I wouldn't shave over the ingrown hair. The best way is to soak a wash cloth in hot water and put it over the ingrown hair for about 3 or 4 minutes. Then use a pair of tweezers and pull out the ingrown hair. The ingrown hair is normally right in the center of the raised bump on your skin. If you heat the area with the warm wash cloth then the skin will release the hair easier. :-) Hope this helps. :-)

Here's how to get rid of an ingrown hair:

Step One
Sterilize a pair of tweezers by giving it an alcohol wash. It is always important that you sterilize instruments that will come in contact with your blood stream. The risk of infection increases when touching an open wound with a foreign object. Simply take rubbing alcohol, place it in a cup, and then place your tweezers in the cup as well. Let it sit for 2 minutes.

Step Two
Add a warm compress to the ingrown hair by using a face cloth that you have soaked with warm water. (Make sure it's not too hot.) Place the compress on the ingrown hair for 2 minutes while the tweezers are soaking. This should help open up the pore and expose the hair follicle.

Step Three
Gently pull the hair using your sterilized tweezers. If the compress did not bring the hair to the surface, repeat the compress process, as you do not want to "dig" for the hair. Don't pull the hair out completely as this will expose the bloodstream and bacteria caught around the hair underneath the skin can get inside. Gently tease the hair back to its extended position with the tweezers.

Step Four
Apply antiseptic to the site of the ingrown hair. Bacitracian and Neosporin are two such antiseptics. This will kill any bacteria they may have surrounded the hair. Also, wipe away any pus that may have

Answer 3

make sure u lather up really well b4 shaving and then let it stay on ur face for 2 minutes before u shave
put some alcohol on a paper towel and put in on ur face...it'lll hurt a little but it prevents bacteria...or get a good after-shave. u can also shave in the direction of the hair growth to prevent ingrown hair. shaving in this direction prevents the hair from being cut on an angle and then it will grow straight out instead of back into ur skin.
hope this helps!!!
