kaykib320	laser removal would stop it. try changing from shaving to such products like Nair that remove hair without needing to shave. Worked for me, used to have the same problem. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

moonchild	you HAVE to. oh my Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ashlee	shave downwards. but if you have an ingrown that just wont go away try to pluck it out with tweezers, it wont feel good but it probably wont come back good luck!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Seth	Try using Bikini Zone products, or start using an electric shaver instead of a razor. Laser hair removal is supposed to be permanent, but it's very expensive. It will probably cost about $2000 to do the entire bikini area. Each treatment costs about $350, and it takes about six or seven treatments to permanently remove the hair.

caffsans	do you really HAVE TO shave there thats the reason you are getting all the ingrown hairs if you have the $$$ for lazer removal ,go for it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

to tell ya the truth...........	my girls and I wax. but if you just have one nasty spot you just need to pluck. you can ice it first. Just know you have to grow out that little hair a bit, don't dig for it and keep it clean with alcohol till its up a little. I know some people are laughing but its painful! (and sure, laser would keep it gone !) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Annie C	My gyno says that if you shave too often and get ingrown hairs, they can turn into sebaceous cysts and you have to get those lanced...OUCH!!!!! Definitely shave with a bikini zone type gel, and after shaving (downward, always) rinse with cool/cold water. After you get out of the shower, apply an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Polysporin, especially on the ingrown hair. Best to pluck it for now to get the root. Next time, try waxing, laser, or let it grow...the world will not end, if you don't shave as often. Also, I noticed that letting it grow for a couple weeks, then using a hair trimmer, you can't get quite as close, but it helps, lots easier, and quicker. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gene L	Just let your pubes grow out and yank out the offending one by the roots. (You can stop shaving there for a couple of days can't you?) And of course, the reason it's ingrown is because you're shaving so close that the hair is actually below the skin line and grows back into your skin. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mark	My wife Say's that this very common. Try have a bikini waxing done and it will usually clear it up and you can usually go back to shaving after that. Laser hair removal would eliminate this problem completely. They remove the roots. Good luck with this problem it can be very uncomfortable.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Natalia	remember to cleanse the area after you've shaved it (at beauty salons you'll find a lot of alcohol-based cleansers that kill bacteria on the skin). a lot of it is that people forget to clean off the area after shaving it, and that causes the ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal would eliminate the issue, but it is -very- expensive. If you're rich, I'd go for it, but if not, just keep shaving. Also, waxing avoids a lot of the problems that shaving gives you, and lasts 4 weeks. :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cjcrewso	try bikini zone you can find it at most walmarts and targets Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥мαи∂ιѕ♥	You should talk to your doctor about this problem...cuz i have no idea i never had that problem before. Its best to ask your doctor since he/she will know alot more about this than others on here. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ticklemeblue	Yes....laser would take care of this... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dances with unicorns	Yes; laser hair removal is permanent; if you must remove the hair, and can afford the treatment, it's certainly the way to go. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JK	Laser Hair Removal would be a great solution. If it is a "limited" area that you need to treat, that could also bring the price down dramatically. You can to go to http://www.HairRemovalForum.com, they have a number of different providers there and if you call them they can give you different price options. Was this answer helpful to you?
