Ingrown Pubic Hair? Quick and Easy Cures
|

Ingrown pubic hairs can be very painful. The advice notes below will cure the problem quickly and greatly help reduce the risk in the future!
First, some background information. Ingrown hairs are known as Psuedofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), razor bumps, razor burn, hair bumps, shaving bumps, ingrowns.
The condition known as Psuedofolliculitis Barbae refers to hair that grows out of surrounding tissue rather than straight out through the hair follicle. This is because it has either been broken off or cut below the level of the skin. Some hair is naturally curly and instead of growing out it curls back and starts growing into the skin causing irritation and even inflammation.
Hair naturally has a tapered end. Shaving in the pubic region removes that smooth end so the remaining hair is now sharp. It has the potential to cut through the surrounding skin as it grows.
Also remember the skin around the pubic area can be more sensitive than skin on other parts of the body. This makes it more susceptible to ingrown hair as hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or sugaring, can easily leave a skin reaction and contribute to problems when hair regrows.
Ingrown pubic hair cure and prevention advice notes
For ingrown pubic hairs along the bikini line, hold a hot compress against ingrown spots for ten minutes three times a day to soften the skin and help the hairs work their way out.
Avoid friction over the sensitive area by wearing loose fitting clothing. Tight clothing can irritate skin that has recently undergone a hair removal session such as waxing or shaving. The tightness can cause hair to regrow into the sides of the hair follicle. So remember this after your next hair removal session - wear loose clothing!
Before waxing you might try exfoliating the skin. This removes dead skin cells which can build up on the skin and cause a problem with trapped hairs.
You can purchase creams, body gels, or lotions that exfoliate the skin. Or if you prefer, ask for a washcloth or glove designed for exfoliation from the beauty section at your local department store. They are slightly abrasive and ideal for the job.
To avoid further skin irritation, don't exfoliate if you are already suffering from ingrown pubic hairs.
Avoid breaking the hair below the surface of the skin if you use waxing or sugaring hair removal methods. Practice so you can take the hair out in one pull back right from the root. Of course, if you find pubic areas difficult to treat with hair removal you can always pay a professional at a beauty clinic.
For ingrown hairs which are deep, sterilize a pair of needle-nosed tweezers with rubbing alcohol and individually lift each ingrown hair out of its follicle. Wipe the area with alcohol afterwards and shave.
If needle-nosed tweezers are not available, wipe a pin or needle and the ingrown area with rubbing alcohol, then carefully release the hair in the direction that it grows using the tip of the needle only. After the hair is released, wipe the skin with alcohol again.
Pubic hair removal is now very common for both men and women. For this reason ingrown pubic hair will always be a risk after hair has been pulled out or cut off through shaving. Use the advice notes above and cure the condition immediately and use the preventative measures to avoid the problem in the future. |
