Subcutaneous hairs are the most unwanted result after a hair removal procedure. They can appear after any type of epilation and with any type of skin and hair. Their treatment must be precise in order not to cause an infection or to form permanent scars on the skin. We share a few tips that may be helpful.
Stop any hair removal methods or at least in the area around ingrown hairs. Shaving, plucking, shaving or any other hair removal method can make the irritation worse and introduce bacteria.
Wet a clean cloth with warm water or warm a dry clean cloth. Place the warm compress on the ingrown pimples for 10 minutes. Do this at least once a day to soften the skin.
Take a bath with eps sea s alt. Warm water has an antibacterial and antifungal effect. It will help reduce inflammation and soften your skin. You can also make a paste with Epsom s alt to apply to the pimples. See more about the qualities of s alt and paste here.
Apply a thin layer of antibiotic cream once or twice a day, especially after the warm compress. Ointment can reduce the risk of hair follicle infection.
If the ingrown hair still manages to break through the skin, carefully remove it using tweezers. Then wash the pimple with alcohol and reapply antibiotic paste.
How to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs?
It is very important to pay attention to whether this problem often occurs and after which hair removal (if you alternate, for example, shaving with a wax, epilator). If you are removing hair with a wax, for example, and every time after the procedure your skin suffers because of ingrown hairs, consider whether it is not good to stop for a while and try another method of hair removal.
Exfoliate the skin in the triangle area once a week with a body scrub. Removing dead skin cells will not only make your skin more beautiful, but also reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.
Change your razor regularly and always use shaving foam.
Apply products specially formulated to prevent ingrown hairs. They don't give you a 100% guarantee, but they can greatly reduce the frequency of ingrown hairs.
And last but not least, wear more often panties that are without lace and made of cotton material, comfortable, soft and in no way tight and sweaty.
