Ingrown Hair In Genital Area Posted: 10-16-05 22:31pm
I've been shaving for years, and a couple
days ago there was what looked like an
ingrown hair, I scratched it and I think
it made it worse, it doesn't resemble
herpes or syphilis but it is not going
away. I believe that it may have
developed into a cyst and I was hoping
someone had some insight.

Ive had that before. Thats what it
is...And ingrown hair. Get a hot wash
rag...As hot as u can stand...Then hold it
to the spot for atleast 30 seconds then
squeeze. Usually junk comes out of the
problem area, and usually a long hair. No
wonder it hurts! If that doesnt work u
may want to call ur doctor.

It is very likely you have a bartholin's
gland cyst-
Yeah, I get that problem every month, I
just carry on as usuall (which is nothing
because no boys fancy me)....
How can I get a Boyfriend who loves me for
who I am?
Please help...

from experience it usually helps to let
the ingrown hair grow for a little while
without trying to get it out. when it is a
bit longer it will be easier to find and
remove!

exfoliate... .after you shave, that might
help reduce ingrowns. Otherwise just deal
with it until it goes away. That's why I
prefer trimming to shaving.

I get waxed in the genital area and
underarms and have only had ingrowns a few
times in the genital area, when I shaved
it was more often in both areas.
Definitely wait and let it come to a head
so you can get it out easier. I just heard
about exfoliating last month while on
vacation and had to get waxed from someone
other than my usual hairdresser. You can
also use Azulene oil to help soothe the
area and deter hair growth as well as
ingrowns. I get mine at Sally's Beauty
Supply.
