Warm compresses--grab a hot washcloth and keep it there as much as possible. Hope this helps. :-)

You have to NOT TOUCH IT for a long time. True story: I had plucked a hair from the inside of my nose, it came back ingrown, and ended up coming out the other side backwards!
Reply:The best thing you can do right now is to just leave it alone. Then in the morning, take a look and see if you can see the little dot of where the hair is, and if you can get a pair of really sharp pointy tweezers and try to pull it out. You can also try pushing (gently) with your fingers around the area to encourage the hair to come out so that you can pluck it.





But if it isn't cooperating, then you just have to wait another day to see how it is and then try again. In the meantime, if it looks inflamed, you might want to consider putting some neosporin on it.
Reply:Let it heal (the crater you dug, that is). It should take a week, but you don't want to make it any deeper, cause brusing or worse yet a tremendous scab. This will only make it more noticeable. After it heals, use a hot wash cloth and hold it on the affected area. This will open your pore better and may even draw the hair upwards closer to the surface of the skin. See if you can get some tweezers and try to pull the hair out that way. You sure it's an ingrown hair? Not a blackhead or something? If the washcloth/tweezer thing doesn't work, see a dermatologist.
Reply:If you can't resist or are following the advice of others above, please please please make sure you have absolutely STERILE tools you're working with and clean the skin well with alcohol and your hands must be washed well.





Regardless of who's advice you are following... make sure that you are washing and drying your face with a fresh towel every time to reduce the transfer of bacteria/fungus.





Please though, you need to stop picking at your face.


If you just can't resist, cover it with a bandaid and allow it to heal over and at your earliest opertunity head to the doctor and have them remove the ingrown hair.


Its probably in your best interests to go to a doctor soon, especially if you have red streaks coming out from around the sore you have an infection and need an antibiotic in an oral or ointment form.





I had a terrible problem with folliculitis (ingrown hairs that become infected) on my leg. It took almost a year to heal and it hurt so bad and now my leg is scarred. If this is in fact folliculitis, and you continue to pick you're going to spread the bacteria/fungus to other hair follicles on your face and maybe body.
