Ah, ingrown hair. The bane of anybody interested in taming unwanted hair, be they male, female, old, or young. I think it is safe to say that we have all experienced them and we have all wished they never happened.

This guide will help you if you want to find out how to get rid of ingrown hair , how to stop them from happening, and how to make sure you don’t make them worse once you spot one.

In order to treat and avoid the problem, we first have to understand what the problem is.

So…

What is an ingrown hair?
To put things as simply as possible: an ingrown hair is a hair that has curled around and grown back into your skin instead of coming through like it should.

How do I know if I have one?
Ingrown hairs tend to irritate the skin; this makes them easy to spot. An ingrown hair will often leave a raised red bump (or a group of bumps) that looks just like a pimple.

Women tend to get ingrown hairs on legs, bikini lines and their underarms. Men are more susceptible to getting little groups of bumps on their chin after shaving: ingrown facial hair.

They can be painless little red things or they can be unbearable sores. A strong sign that you have one is if the area is itchy or uncomfortable.

Depending on your skin complexion and the thickness of your hair, you could either see a little pus under the redness or even the trapped hair itself.

What causes ingrown hairs?
There are many ways to fall victim to an ingrown hair. They can happen anywhere, though mostly in areas where the skin is waxed or shaved.
