How can I deal with ingrowing hairs?!?!?!?

Everytime that I shave or wax anything in my body my problem is "ingrowing hairs" and i really hate them cause they produce small red spots and inflamation.



Sometimes I use St Ives Apricot Scrub cause it helps for exfoliation....



Help!

How can I deal with ingrowing hairs?!?!?!?
had them for many years and had no idea what to do about them. I got more of them in the winter when I wore jeans or pants all time. They seemed to get better and be less of a problem in the summer when I wore shorts and exfoliated and s haved more often. After experiementing for a long time I found out they way to get rid and keep them away is to exfoiliate daily in the shower and shave every other day even in the winter. I also used a good all over body moisturizer. It took a while, maybe couple weeks for all of them to go away too. That has been about 20 years ago and I haven't had any since. Good Luck! I know how unsightly and aggravating they are.
Reply:try useing twizers to get rid of the ingrown hairs then smooth the red blotches with an anticeptic cream to heal the skin.



try also using hair removal cream as it burns off the hair and lessens the ingrown hairs.
Reply:exfoliation is discouraged now

moisturizing as well as using a special cream/lotion to minimize ingrown hair is the best way to deal with it

another way would be to get laser treatment which is expensive
