Answer 1

It kind of hurts a little but the best thing to do is use rubbing alcohol. Try it, it totally works.

Answer 2

Perhaps waxing is just not for you. Not all methods of bikini-area hair removal will work for everyone.
Have you tried depilatory? I use Sally Henson and it works wonders! No ingrown hairs.
About a week before you shave, put some hair conditioner on the hair down there...not a lot, just enough to rub in and leave on. You can use the conditioner that you have at home....no need to buy anything special.
When you use the depilatory, make sure you shave with the grain and not against it. That's often what causes the bumps in the first place. It should work like a charm.
Good luck!

The problem is pubic hair is usually curly. If you have naturally curly hair on your head, that makes the problem even worse.

When you pluck the hair out, you are pulling it out below the skin level. When it grows back it tends to grow back curly. It gets caught under the skin and rather than coming out, it simply rolls up under the skin, causing the bump. The irritation of the bump can explain the redness or it could be due to infection.

You really only have three solutions to this.

First, let the hair grow out. Once it gets above the skin line, it will curl outside and you will not get the red bumps. You may need to wear a bigger bikini bottom to cover the hair.

Second, stop waxing!! Use a razor and cut the hair at the skin line. If the hair is above the skin line, it can not get trapped under the skin line and no bumps will form.

Third, see a plastic surgeon about getting laser hair removal. This will cost you quite a bit compared to shaving and hot waxing but once it is done, the hair is gone forever.

I would suggest trying to use BUMP PATROL sold at pharmacies and Wal Mart. I know if you shave even though you said you don't like it, you apply this after and it works miracles as I used it after I shaved my groing area for a tattoo, and it worked great. I have no real help for ingrown hair, but it may help. The reason its doing that is because your hair is turning back in to the follicle as it growing back. Give it a try you have nothing to lose, and it's a pretty cheap product that works great! Good luck Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Answer 5

Ingrown hairs and red bumps are common along bikini lines. Take some good old fashioned deoderant and rub a small amount on the bumps. Trust me, it works!

I had the same problem! There's this cream you can buy at Wal-Mart called Bikini Zone. It works wonders! It burns for like 5 seconds when you first put it on, but after it's fine. Your skin will be smoothe in no time!!! Good luck!!!

Answer 8

well, ingrown hairs, you'll have to shave, or pluck, it will hurt but trust me it works, as for the redness, try some lotions for sensitive skin.

Answer 9

Bikini Zone...you can get it at any local drug store or grocery store. It's the best thing ever created!

Answer 10

i get them too...I tried skin doctors 'Ingrow Go' it works but wear gloves to apply it as it wrecked my nails..but recently I've started using germoline cream...it works a treat and brings them up to the surface so i can gently tweezer them out. tea tree lotion after waxing for a couple of days helps too
