What is the best way to get rid of ingrown hairs?

I try to avoid them in the first place by using a loofah, but when they come, I pluck them with out tweezers.

What is the best way to get rid of ingrown hairs?

Well I know what to do to prevent them. First of all, shave in the way the hair grows, it might not get you as close a shave on the first pass (you can go again) but helps stop the ingrown hairs. When you shave against the way the hair grows you are essentially pushing ANY bacteria from your razor, tub/shower, bar of soap, etc. into the pore from which the hair grows. Then the bacteria become all happy and crap from the moist, wet environment and start to multipy. Then you have an unhealthy pore that the hair cannot grow through and its red, inflamed and eventually pus-filled like a bad and painful pimple. The hair cant break through that mess.

Also, when i shave any sensitive areas of skin, you kow what i mean, i apply a thin coating of Neosporin (generic name and cheaper: triple antibiotic ointment) over the shaved area to help stop any bacteria from multiplying that may have been introduced by the razor/tub/you/them.

Next of all ladies if you hate those lil bumpies you get on your legs then do NOT wear pants on your legs or panties (that have irritating elastic) in any area you have shaved recently that has not been shaved in a while...give it a coupla days before you shave again. All jeans and panties do is rub sensitive, female skin by rubbing against pores that are trying to grow new hair and they just push the new growing hair back into its follicule where it pushes and pokes the pore and then the bacteria begin to multiply

****And last but not least....shave everyday no matter how much you need it. The skin and pores become accustomed over time and it wont irritate so badly because the skin adapts. And ...ONLY use your OWN razor, share with NO one. Toss it out if you arent sure because if you dont, you are basically transplanting someone elses skin cells and bacteria into your own pores.....Good Luck folks....keep it un-bumpy....thats cool...and sexy...shaved is good.
