What are Ingrown Hairs?

An ingrown hair is a hair that has curled back in to the follicle instead of growing out of the skin.  Anyone can get ingrowns and they are most commonly found in areas that are shaved, waxed, subject to a lot of friction frequently.

  • Itchiness
  • Redness, irritation around hair

The ingrown area will have little bumps that may look similar to a pimple.  The bump will be red and often filled with pus, you might see a little dark dot that would be the hair. 

What causes ingrown hairs?

There can be several reasons for ingrown hairs.
  • Improper hair removal: shaving too close to the skin, plucking, 
  • Clogged pores: dead skin, dirt
  • Friction: from tight clothes

How to treat ingrown hairs? 

Use a warm compress to soothe the affected area.  Don’t over exfoliate and avoid any hair removal until the area is treated.  Be sure to wear loose clothing.  Once you see any part of the hair appear above the skin, you may use a tweezer to pull the hair out.  Cleanse the area with gentle soap and try applying our Cher-Mere Intimate Toner and Cher-Mere Intimate Lotion
