Sometimes hair curls itself and grows in the wrong direction, getting inside the skin and keeping to grow there, while causing irritation and pain. In time, this nuisance can develop an infection adding even more problems and distress. The more often you shave, the more often an ingrown hair problem can appear. Getting rid of the ingrown hairs is not easy but this article will help you solve your problem and make the pain go away easy and fast.

Find the problem. You can do that by looking for bumps and irritations, but keep in mind that most of them are caused by the razors, or they are regular skin irritations. To locate an ingrown hair, you must touch your skin and feel a bump that has a small crust. You can also visualize the hair under the skin or see the pus if there is an infection located there.

Use a warm wet cloth and press gently on the spot where the ingrown hair appears to be developing. Wait until the cloth is getting colder and put more warm water on it. Repeat more times until the hair is getting loose; you will see it rise to the surface. If more than 10 minutes have passed and there is yet no visible hair then there may not be an in grown hair that is bothering you. Check with a dermatologist if you see that your skin does not recover in time.

Sterilize a needle and try to get the hair out of the skin after the warm compression has soft it out.

Be patient and make sure not to injure yourself.

After the hair is out, use water and soap and gently wash the skin area where the ingrown hair was.

When done, use an antiseptic to disinfect the area preventing any infections to develop. Alcohol or hydrogen peroxide can be applied on sterile cotton balls or buds to help you. That will keep the skin clean and germ free.
