How to get rid of ingrown hairs and boils?

Are these boils or big pimples? There is a difference. A boil is caused by a staph infection...and you may have to see a doctor about this. In the meantime, I would recommend you see a dermatologist about it all. Only he can actually verify what is going on with your skin and give you either the medicine or the prescription to heal it. Don't put this off, especially if you have them on your face. Some types of pimples can cause scarring. Best of luck to you.

Try gentle exfoliation with a body scrub, if they are ingrown hairs that should work but might take a while.

Sometimes the ingrown hairs can turn into boils because they are left untreated...so it could be both...the exfoliation should take away any dead skins cells so the hairs can come to the surface. Hope this helps.

How to get rid of ingrown hairs and boils?

Been there. They suck. Short of going to a doc, you'll have to puncture it with a needle. If it hurts, it's probably a boil, especially if it hurts like the devil if you squeeze it. Sterilize a needle with the flame from a candle or lighter, then swish it in alcohol, and poke carefully. If you see blood or pus, it's most likely a boil. Probe the wound a bit to see if you see a dark hair lurking and have a pair of tweezers ready just in case. If you don't find a hair, try to get out all of the pus by squeezing gently, then cleaning it well with peroxide. The use an antibiotic cream on it and bandage it for about 8 hours. Do the same thing again, and rebandage. It'll take a few days, if it's a boil. If it's an ingrown hair, it should be better a day after you get the hair out.

BTW, don't keep a bandage on it all of the time. It need air to dry out well, but you have to be careful to keep infection down, so alternate until it doesn't hurt or fill with pus anymore. I also squeeze them until pure blood comes out instead of the watery pus, but that's just me. There will be a risk of scarring either way, but that's about all I can tell you to do for yourself. The only other choice is a doc.

Good luck.
