Ingrown hair<\/span>s are grown back into your\u00a0skin<\/span>\u00a0instead of rising up from it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sometimes, dead skin can clog a\u00a0hair<\/span>\u00a0follicle. That forces the hair to grow sideways under your skin, rather than up and out.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Often, an ingrown hair improves without treatment. You can avoid it by not removing hair. If that’s not an option, you can use hair removal methods that lessen the risk of developing ingrown hairs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ingrown hairs most commonly appear in the beard area, including the chin and cheeks and, especially, the neck. They can appear on the scalp in those who shave their heads. Other common areas for ingrown hairs are the armpits, pubic area and legs. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When an ingrown hair develops, you may notice small, round bumps called\u00a0papules<\/span>, or small, pus-filled bumps called\u00a0pustules<\/span>. In some cases, the skin around the ingrown hair may become darker. This is known as\u00a0hyperpigmentation<\/span>.<\/a>
You may also experience pain or\u00a0itching<\/span>\u00a0around the area of the ingrown hair.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Certain people may be at a higher risk for ingrown hairs. For example, people with thick, curly hair\u00a0tend to develop ingrown hairs<\/span>\u00a0more often than people with fine, thin hair. This is especially true with pubic hair, which tends to be coarser than hair on the head or the rest of the body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
