1. Going Bare Down There
Of course, you'd rarely have a problem with ingrown pubic hairs if you never remove hair down there in the first place. However, a manicured or non-existent pubic mane is very popular for both guys and girls. Many people swear that going bare or near bare increases their sensitivity to stimulation. Plus it's a great libido increaser for many people.
2. Defuzz Slowly
Preparation is the key to preventing ingrown pubic hairs caused by shaving. First, use a clean pair of manicure scissors to trim the hair to a manageable length that can also be completely shaved, should you choose to go all bare. Take a warm shower or cover the hair with a warm facecloth to soften it. Smear the area with hypoallergenic shaving gel or lotion. Grab a new and very sharp single-bladed razor and shave the hair in the direction of the hair growth to lower the chances of getting ingrown hairs. Use one hand to hold the area to be shaved taunt so that the razor glides over your skin effortlessly. Avoid using multiple strokes to shave the same area.
3. Don't Scratch!
As your pubic hair starts to grow back, it can make the entire area very itchy. Don't succumb to that intense desire to scratch, otherwise you'll irritate the skin and increase the chance of getting ingrown pubic hairs. You can reduce some of the itchiness by applying witch hazel. Using pure aloe vera can also help.
4. Looks Like Pubic Pimples
Even if you take all the precautions, you might still get ingrown pubic hairs. If you do, you'll notice them right away. They look a bit like pimples, even though they're actually a small collection of pus under your skin in your hair follicle. This pus is caused by your body's attempt to fight what it considers foreign. The foreign matter is a hair that has re-entered the skin. These pustules range in size from 2 to 4 millimeters and can be painful.
5. Remove Ingrown Pubic Hairs Carefully
Deal with the inflammation by applying a hot cloth or compress to the ingrown hair. This treatment might soften the hair enough for it to rise to the surface where you can use a pair of sterilized tweezers to pull it out. If the hair doesn't surface right away, you may need to wait a few days for it to get long enough for you to pull out. Don't try to force the hair out if there's nothing visible to grab, since it could cause permanent scarring.
