They are somewhat painful to touch. Are they ingrown hairs? What can I do to avoid these? Thanks.

Q for ladies only... when i shave my bikini area, I sometimes get red bumps when the hair starts to grow back.

They are ingrown hairs- it took me years to figure out a good way to get rid of them. I find waxing too expensive and not convienent enought (not to mention painful) and Nair isn't designed to be used near your vagina- the chemicals are pretty harsh and can cause some bad side effects. Plus, waxing and nair can cut down on the ingrown hairs (personally, i find i generaly get more from waxing), but its not a cure.

Ingrown hairs are caused when the hair is trapped under the skin. This can be because of a lot of dead skin cells, or because you've shaved the hair too close. The redness is because the skin is being stretched and inflamed, but also because often times the ingrown hair will become slightly infected and form pus, looking a lot like a pimple. Ingrown hairs can form because pores or follicles are clogged with the dead skin cells or dirt. I find it easiest to think of treating them in two parts- a trapped hair, and drying out a pimple.

I rarely get them anymore from shaving, and what I have found works best is this:

1) Instead of using a normal women's shaving cream that is formulated for the whole body, I found that it makes a huge difference if I use a men's shaving cream thats specifically intended for their face (there are quite a few products that are geared towards reducing shave bumps for men, since the skin on their face is just as delicate, gets shaved more often, and is way more apparent to the public!) My favorite at the moment is Neutrogena Men's Shaving Cream- its very smooth cream, not foam, and it has a small bit of saliclyic acid in it, which is a popular ingredient in a lot of acne medication. I find that one bottle of it lasts me forever, too. I also make sure that I exfoliate pretty vigorously before I shave- a good hard rub with a loofah!

2) When I'm actually shaving, I try to shave small sections at a time, slowly. I use just a regular Venus razor, which is pretty decent, although I find when the blades are new and at their sharpest is when its the most dangerous, since thats when the hair gets cut off the closest and it tends to create the most ingrown hairs. A lot of people swear by shaving with the grain instead of against it. I think a lot of the trouble is caused by people trying to shave too closely. visually, you can get away with not shaving very closely, and I've also found that what seems kind of prickly and not super smooth to me in the shower will seem baby smooth to me in ten minutes when im out of the shower and dry. (Just like how you're supposed to shave when your hair is wet, because it makes the hair expand and become softer, so when its dry it will seem less obvious because its no longer full of all that water)

3) When I'm done shaving, I find that as long as I keep an eye on my hair, its generally in pretty good shape. I exfoliate with my loofah each time I shower, and keep an eye to see if I see any starts of ingrown hairs- generally you can see a very mild bit of red and free the hair with a bit of tweezers before it gets bad at all. The redness goes away quickly once the hair isn't trapped. And I also tend not to pluck the hair all the way out- just free it from the dead skin with a little pull of fine nosed tweezers. If I pluck it all the way, I find that in a few days, I'll just have an ingrown hair in the same spot as the hair grows back again. When its first starting to grow back I like to clean down there in the shower with the same cleaners I use on my face- just sensitive skin face wash and occasionally a gentle exfoliating scrub. Keeping it clean prevents the pimple like structures that form if you do get an ingrown hair, so at least it won't be infected

My description makes it seem like preventing ingrown hairs is a full time job- but its really pretty easy- just prepare well, be gentle while shaving, and then keep an eye out. After a few weeks, it wont be anymore work at all because you won't be getting them. And if you get them terribly badly (and some people are more prone than others), shaving or waxing isnt necessary to live a long and happy life- I just find it more comfortable for my self, even though I know several men who prefer more hair down there, its up to you. Good luck!

you should try to use Nair instead of shaving it will reduce the redbumps and it is way less painless and you don't cut your "Gyna"

Q for ladies only... when i shave my bikini area, I sometimes get red bumps when the hair starts to grow back.

Yes they are ingrown hairs. It could also be some razor burn. They make creams and salves to help prevent both, they are sold over the counter at wal-mart, or any other drug store. If it gets really bad and/or is too sore then you should consult a doctor.

Quit shaving it then! God put hair on it for a reason. I can't imagine now dating a girl and making it to 3rd base only to find it is slick and clean like a little girl's would be!!!

A man likes to feel of a furry muffin, plus if they are naturally blonde or red, that is even better! Nothing like a natural fire crotch with big ole lips on it!!!!!

Q for ladies only... when i shave my bikini area, I sometimes get red bumps when the hair starts to grow back.

Use lotion after shaving. Sometimes it gets red from chafing. If your clothes are rubbing against your bikini area too soon after shaving, or when new growth starts it is going to cause a rash and ingrown hairs.

I use body butter from The Body Shop (coconut). I have a friend that uses Witches Hazel or something like that. It is found where the alcohol is, but it isn't alcohol. Anything with vitamin E is good as well. It will help heal the area and lessen any razor burn that might occur.

Q for ladies only... when i shave my bikini area, I sometimes get red bumps when the hair starts to grow back.

they are ingrown hairs. You should not shave, use other mehtods like hair removal creams. Veet has a great that works very well and lasts longer than shaving. It does not cost a lot. There is also waxing, lasts long, costs more. A lot of women get the ingrown hairs. I tried a cream called bikini zone a few yrs ago, try that and it may help u. You apply it after u shave to prevent the bumps.

Q for ladies only... when i shave my bikini area, I sometimes get red bumps when the hair starts to grow back.

Sounds like ingrown hairs. The skin closes up over the follicle and its got nowhere to go. Exfoliate regularly. A body puff or scrubbe, not sure what they are actually called, apply liquid soap and it gently removes the dead layer of skin allowing the hair to grow without causing infection or pain.

Q for ladies only... when i shave my bikini area, I sometimes get red bumps when the hair starts to grow back.

You can try the Nair or something similar, but that could make things worse (I've treated women with wicked rashes down there caused by Nair...) Make sure your razor is fresh and sharp, and that you use a good, lubricating shaving gel; a dull blade tugs and nicks skin (AKA "razor burn"). Advice about exfoliation is good, although go gentle while you have the active bumps. If all that fails, then there's always waxing, plucking, and even laser hair removal (laser = very expensive, but permanent).

I guess that would depend on each individual person, which nair product you used, and if you followed the directions for use correctly. I'm sure it's not impossible. Here's the warning label that states:

Be Careful

Do not use NAIR Waxes immediately after a bath and don't use deodorant or antiperspirants for 24 hours after underarm hair removal. People suffering from diabetes, varicose veins, moles, warts or circulatory problems should not use waxes. Do not wax inside the ears, on nipples, perianal, vaginal/genital areas or eyelashes.

Do not use NAIR庐 products on irritated, inflamed or broken skin.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

2009-10-06T02:07:00.001-07:00

ingrown hairs are infected hair follicles like red spots on your skin and the hair is growing underneath the surface of your skin.Sometimes its a bit messy but you have to pop the spot and prise it out with tweezers.

As for razor burn you need to use shaving cream on damp skin and always use razors with sharp blades and those aloe strips.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

Good question.

I'll be waitng for a reply as well, because I'd like to know too.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

razor burn is caused by little cuts on your skin, you can prevent it by shaving with shave gel, warm water, a new blade, and not pressing hard when you shave. to soothe it put on a soothing lotion, preferably unscented. ingrown hairs are hairs that literally are kind of growing in the wrong way, they look like pimples. They can be prevented by washing with soap and water after you shave and putting lotion on after you get out of the shower.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

Usually when I get a razor burn, I put some vaseline cream on it so it doesn't irritate me so much. You can also use any other lotion that'll keep the pain away. An ingrown hair is when you shave in a certain area too often. For example, if you shave your legs more often then they should be shaved, you will get a little bump. It's a hair inside of your leg. But it cannot grow out due to the swelling of your skin. It'll look like a pimple on your skin kind of. I've gotten those before. All you do is just leave them. Don't try to burst it or whatever. Because that will make it worse. It'll only swell more. It's only temporary. If it ends up itching, but some gold bond cream or powder on it and try not to scratch. Good luck..

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

Make sure the razor is new and you are frequently changing blades. Use a rich body wash or shaving cream. I like to use hydrocortizone cream or acne cream, since ingrown hairs are really pimples with hairs inside. They are caused by the hair curling under the skin instead of growing out.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

I use aloe vera gel to sooth shaving rash on my face. It works well for me. Buy the Banana Boat brand from Superdrug.... it's cheaper than the others.

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

Use a body soup, the liquid it seems to be smoother then saving cream, always use a new raiser - maybe you could get two or three uses out of one also try a diferent raiser then what you are using. the more lather on your legs no less you'll have the burns and use lotion when done, keeps the skin nice, smooth and healthy!

In growen hairs are when the same peice of hair comes up and then works it way back under the skin and comes up again, sometimes it's hard to tell you have them but most get red and hurt! Men get them often and they can get infected! Remove them by plucking them out!

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

ingrown hairs are something I am an expert on. they are all over my damn legs , these are when you shave and the prickly hairs grow leaving small hairy dots on your skin, best way toi get rid of them is exfoliate and do not shave

How do you get rid of razor burn? What are ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hair is the result of hair getting cut or broken below skin level and then growing into the side of the hair follicle instead of out. This results in painful red bumps that usually turn into pustules. The curlier the hair, the higher the risk.

Razorburn (aka razor bumps) is the result of shaving off puckered hair follicles and irregular skin. It is often accompanied by ingrown hairs and is caused by inadequate shaving preparation and poor technique.

Do:

Use a mild exfoliant that contains salicylic acid daily. This will slough off old, dead surface skin that otherwise could clog up your pores and limit oxygen to the effected areas. Do not scrub razor-burned skin. (ow!)

Use aloe vera or tea tree oil creams and sprays. They will speed up your recovery and soothe that raw feeling that accompanies razor burn.

Shave carefully until it heals, switch to a razor with a single-blade or wire guard for a while. The shave won閳ユ獩 be close, but you won閳ユ獩 be slicing your skin up before it can heal either.

Do not:

Use any products containing alcohol - it will dry out your skin and increase irritation.

Scrub or scratch razor burned skin. It will increase irritation and the risk of infection.

Apply colognes or perfumes to razor burned skin.

Bathe and exfoliate first. You can use a loofah, shower puff, or a chemical exfoliant that contains salicylic acid to remove dirt, oil and dead skin so the razor will glide smoothly and evenly.

Cover the area to be shaved with conditioner or skin lotion and let it sit for a few minutes prior to shaving - don閳ユ獩 rub it into the skin. This will soften the hair and make the shave much easier. Don閳ユ獩 let it sit longer than five minutes either as your skin will start to absorb the moisture and puff up, keeping you from getting a close shave. Alternatively, you can soak some wash cloths with the hot, steamy water and apply them to your skin for a few minutes.

Make sure your blade is clean and sharp.

Shave in slow, small strokes tapping the razor under hot water to clean it between each stroke. A blade full of hair won閳ユ獩 sit evenly against the skin.

Loose skin should be held taut - but not stretched.

Apply only as much pressure as is needed.

Shave with the grain as much as is possible to achieve the closeness you desire.

If you must double back over an area, apply more lubricant (soap or cream) first.

Splash cold water or run an ice cube over your freshly shaven skin to close up your pores. Ice works just as well as alcohol and will not dry out your skin.

Apply an aloe vera or tea tree oil balm to moisturize, soothe and cool your skin.

hope this helped =)

Help! Is the scarring caused by trying to "pick" out ingrown hairs permanent?

2009-10-06T02:07:00.000-07:00

I've stopped as of today, but I've done some damage over the past several days (I just began epilating)... =(

Thank you in advance!

Help! Is the scarring caused by trying to "pick" out ingrown hairs permanent?

It will fade over time. I too used to get awful ingrown hairs on my legs from epilating. They got so bad I eventually stopped doing it. Keep your skin moitsturized, and purchase a small tube of the scar fading lotion Mederma. This will speed up the fading process. Good Luck....ingrown hairs are no fun.

Help! Is the scarring caused by trying to "pick" out ingrown hairs permanent?

No it's not but it takes a while to go. I got really bad ingrowing hairs and scars from years of waxing. they've pretty much gone now. Exfoliating helps with both the ingrowing hairs and the scarring.

Help! Is the scarring caused by trying to "pick" out ingrown hairs permanent?

Yes, it can and often does:

"First and foremost, refrain from picking at ingrown hairs. You may create bigger problems, such as infection and scarring. Instead, apply salicylic acid (BHA) to the ingrown hair with a Q-tip. "

I have an area on my neck that gets ingrown hairs all the time.?

An ingrown hair is a hair that curls and then penetrates the skin with its tip as it grows, causing swelling and redness. Inflammation and pus formation are the most common symptoms.

Any pharmacy will sell products to help with the problem but if it's infected, and it sounds like it is, you should really see a doctor - soon!

I've just noticed that you're a seal - so maybe the vet could help instead!

I think you're problem might be that you're not shaving WITH the growth of the hair. If you shave the way the hair grows you shouldn't have this problem. Otherwise, you will have irritation. Also, try putting a small amount of shampoo with your shaving cream and shave after you've showered to make sure your beard is nice and soft. Godloveya.

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

2009-10-06T02:05:00.003-07:00

exactly what it says on the tin!

A hair that has not emerged fully. They do not always cause pain

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

ingrown hair, though painful, is not a serious condition. It's basically an inflammation of one or more hair follicles or hair openings and may occur anywhere on the skin (1) in both men and women. The inflammation caused by the ingrown hair follicle occurs most commonly, when the hair damages the skin.

Causes of ingrown hair

The most common cause of ingrown hair is a close shave that leaves the stubble below the surface of the skin. When this hair begins to grow, it may curl up and grow into the surrounding tissue rather than growing out of the follicle (3). That's why ingrown hairs are more common among people with very curly hair, mostly occurring in the beard area (2). Little wonder there are much more instances of ingrown facial hair, than others.

This situation can also occur from the friction of tight clothing that damages the hair or due to the blockage of the hair follicle. Once the skin is damaged, staph or Staphylococcus bacteria steps in to make it an infected ingrown hair (1). Such infection occurring on the face is called barber's itch. However, it can also be caused by a fungus called Tinea barbae (1).

Symptoms of ingrown hair

Although the most common symptom of an ingrown hair is inflammation of the skin, followed by pus formation, it may resemble other skin conditions too. So, it's always better to consult your physician for a diagnosis, before you think of treatment (2). Let's see what the symptoms of this condition are (1):

Rash manifested as reddened skin area.

Swelling and itching of the area.

Pimples or pustules typically occurring on the neck axilla or groin area. They may also appear as genital lesions

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

Hairs have a follicle (opening) to grow out of. When the end of the hair doesn't go out through the follicle, it gets stuck underneath the skin and grows there. Sometimes it can get infected, but not too often because it is so close to the surface of the skin. Hope that helps!

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hairs are hairs which either fall out,are plucked,shaved,waxed etc that try to grow back in but a layer of skin har formed over your pore making it very uncomfortable and itchty as the hair is trying to pierce its way through your skin!

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

They are normal body hairs that don't pierce through the skin. Thus they end up growing just beneath the surface of the skin. They can be easily brought to the surface by scrubbing the skin or using a harsh skin wash.

Sometimes they become a bit septic and cause a cyst but again, removing the hair will cure this.

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

I get them constantly. It's just hair that didn't break through the surface of the skin.

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

Hairs which grow into the skin instead of outwards. Very painful too. Can come up like a boil on the surface or the skin.

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

I get them from shaving, they cause spots and itch like mad. I have found a product that seems to have cleared them up though - tend skin solution

i brought it from www.mankind.co.uk - i know its a mens site but the stuff is really good

hope it helps

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hairs are basically hairs that grow in the wrong direction. They can't find their way out and grow under the skin. That hair will continue to grow under the skin causing inflammation. They are most common in people with naturally curly hair, but people with straight hair can get them too.

In men, the most common place is where the beard grows. In women, it is usually around the nipples.

They usually go away by themselves, but you can remove them in the same way you'd remove a splinter (i.e. by piercing the skin a little with a sterilised needle then using sterilised tweezers to pull the hair out.)

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

They are hair that hasn't full grown out. I for what evere reason get them on my legs %26amp; it just looks like I missed some when I shaved, they aren't pain full but some are %26amp; get puss on them :(

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

An ingrown hair is a hair that does not grow straight out of the follicle opening. Instead, it curls into the side wall of the hair follicle or into the skin surface. This penetration into and through the wall of the hair follicle produces an inflammation, which can result in the development of a pimple (such as a papule or a pustule) or a cyst (nodule). These lesions are usually tender.

This might be a silly question, but what are ingrown hairs?

Its a hair that when its growing gets trapped under the skin.
