Ingrown hair horror

 
A few days after I shave my legs, I get red bumps filled with pus. My mom says they are ingrown hairs. How do I get rid of them or prevent them?
 
Ingrown hairs are a common condition, especially in people with curly hair. They can happen to anyone though, both boys and girls, and they can happen anywhere. So take a deep breath and know that your ingrowns are 100-percent normal and can be taken care of easily.
 

Some ways to prevent ingrown hairs and those nasty infections include using an electric razor instead of a manual one, exfoliating your legs before shaving them and shaving using down strokes instead of upstrokes.

Already got ‘em? The treatment of ingrown hairs is easy. Step up your exfoliation with a washcloth, loofa or an exfoliating body wash. Look for products with salicylic acid in them. If the problem worsens, consult your physician for some additional help.

which way do you shave ur legs and arms and thighs if you get ingrown hairs. when people say shave in the direction of the hair what does that mean and what does it mean to exfoliate and how do you do it and if u do exfoliat with you get razor burns and.ingrown hairs like me¿

 

 

Hey Chica, exfoliating removes dead skin cells and you can buy products that you use like soap. And your hair grows in a direction (usually down your legs).

Mod Mod,
I have 2 Questions. 1st One i gave egzama, and during the summer i get a tan but tehn white dots on my legs and arms from where i get a rash and my tan scratches off.. Should i see a doc, or a skin doc? Im pretty concious of how i look and i hate it cause i look like a dalmation..
2nd. I have little bumps on my cheeks and fore head. every product i use dosent get rid of it and suggestions on what i should use.. also i have huge black pore.. Or Black Heads on my nose and around it how do i get rid of those too?


 


Hey chica! As for eczema, I'd talk to a dermotoligst about this. They can give you a cream, or something to treat it. As for your skin problem, I love Burt's Bees Willow Bark exfoliating face wash. Also, Oxy Clinical Strength works great!

every time shave under my arms, i get ingrown hairs. is there anyway i can prevent this because i already wait like 5 min with my underarm under running warm water while in the shower then i put soap there then i shave and i still get in grown hairs. HELP!




Make sure that you dont shave against the hair. Shave with the direction of the hairs and that should help. xoxo kerra

Mod- I'm 11, and i want to get my legs waxed before school starts, but I heard that it pulls off your skin. I don't have very hairy legs, but the little bit on my legs makes me itchy. Plz help!!

 

 

Hey babe. Put some baby powder on your skin before waxing. That way the powder will absorb the moisture in your skin and help the wax only grab onto the hair. Have your mom, sis, or other female relative help you if you are nervous. Being that you are only 11, you probably can wait before thinking of hair removal. Smile

Hey girlie, try a little bit of eye shadow and some mascara to really make your eyes pop!
