Ingrown Hair. An ingrown hair looks like a raised, discolored spot on your skin. It’s a strand of hair that grows back into your skin after shaving, tweezing or waxing.
Ingrown hairs can affect anyone, but they’re easy to treat and prevent with the right hair removal practices.
Applying warm compresses several times a day to help a trapped hair grow out and bring a cyst closer to the surface, allowing it to drain.
Applying an antiseptic solution to the cyst to prevent infection, such as tea tree oil or triple antibiotic ointments.
