Use a hot compress made of a washrag with extra hot water. Put it on there several times a day it might draw it to the top. Just stop picking it, wash it good with phisoderm or a good acne soap, a buff puff scrubber would help a lot & put some Acne medication on it like Oxy10 spot treatment. It will have to run it's coarse. STOP PICKING IT!!!

ok stop shaving or waxing till you have no more ingrown hairs.
to fix the ingrown hair your going to have to pop it to get the hair out from under the skin. use a needle or tweezers , and it will hurt.
once it's exposed let it heal. keep the area clean, use face clearner to keep the pores clean. and just wait.
this is wha is what I have done I don't know if it's right.

Let hot vapors hit your face and let your pores open, then get some tweezers and pull that hair out.
Next time always shave after you've taken a hot shower and pores are open in a downward direction using shaving cream/gel.

Not very long at all sweetheart. Get a needle into it and see whats going on. Take it out with tweezers or whatever.

Have you ever stopped to think that if you stopped picking at it, it would heal?
