The warm towel works 😩 if any of you ladies are wondering!

Not me completely squeezing it until it bled

Using a warm compress was highly effective. I didn't have an actual heat pack so I just left a t-shirt in front of the radiator for a while and used that, saw results almost immediately. Gentle exfoliation helps too, you could even do that with a wet washcloth if you don't have an exfoliation tool.

Omg thank u so much although i literally did everything you said not to do.
I searched for simple tips to heal ingrown hair and I didn’t find any, it was always about how to prevent them but not how to heal them.. so thx a lot !
Followed !

I use trimmers and I still get ingrown hairs.
Update: I think it's a blocked pore in my panty line. I had one removed by my nurse practitioner about two -two and a half years ago that was a blocked pore. When she numbed the area, and removed it it looked like a tiny cyst ball that was trapped under my skin. I'll be making an appointment to get this removed too.

Witch Hazel is great for ingrown hairs among other things.

I used a pair of tweezers to remove an ingrown whisker on my chin. It had started to hurt. Once I pulled it, my chin was better. And not certain why you say not to use tweezers. If it can’t be initially pulled using tweezers, all these other suggestions are probably pretty helpful.

[TeKeyaKrystal]

so all the extraction videos are advised against ?

[zaynahhh_]

Those little pimple patch things are helpful

Me watching this after I used a needle to pull the hair out and tweezed it. Now I have dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. Welp 🤣🤣🤣

The best thing that worked for my stubborn body ingrown hair is benzoyl peroxide periodt

[shreyadey]

Can i moisturize too after the whole process?

[pctLowBattery]

Been working on this ingrown hair for a month. This is to remind myself that don’t resort to a tweezer. Use a safety pin to get it out when hair comes to the surface using the mentioned techniques. It’s not going to pop out by itself.

My whole leg is COVERED in reddish scabs because i will pick at my ingrown hairs for hours with tweezers 😭

Watching just after I roughly scratched and squeezed my ingrown hair🙂
