Ingrown hairs often occur in areas where your hair has been shaved or waxed. These types of depilation can cause your hair follicles to break and become clogged with dead skin cells, forcing the hair inside it to grow sideways.
Ingrown hairs occur particularly in the bikini line and legs for women, and in the beard and neck for men. The area around the ingrown hair may appear red and irritated.
There are a variety of treatments to help reduce or prevent ingrown hairs, such as laser hair removal. It is recommended you consult our expert practitioner who will advise you of the best option for your individual case.

It’s not recommended. Try not to touch it and allow it heal on its own to avoid infection.
If an ingrown hair has become infected, your doctor can make a small cut in your skin with a sterile needle or scalpel to release it. It is not recommended to do this yourself.
