Ingrown hairs are caused when hair gets trapped under a build-up of dead skin cells that collect in the pores. This will cause the hair to grow at an angle and get trapped under the skin.<\/p>\n

HB: How do you treat ingrown hairs?<\/h3>\n

Shaving practices are very important. I recommend using a gentle exfoliating cleanser before you shave, shave with the grain (in the same direction your hair is growing in), and with every stroke, wash off the razor. Try not to shave too close to the skin because when the hair grows back in, there is a higher chance of it getting trapped. I also recommend regular use of retinoids in shaving areas for prevention. It avoids a build-up of the skin by increasing skin cell turnover. If the ingrown hair is severe, a dermatologist may extract ingrown hair. If it is inflamed, cortisone is typically injected. If it is infected, we treat the infection appropriately with topical or oral medicines.<\/p>\n
