In today's world of fitness and fashion, it becomes a regime (again) to have a clean and bald look on pubic hair. Why the word again?
The ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Hindus preferred this view and perfected ways to achieve it.
They also knew how to deal with ingrown pubic hair, so let me take a look at some proven and reliable ways to take care of this problem.
What is ingrown pubic hair?
Ingrown pubic hair is one that grows from an abnormal angle and returns to the skin, causing pustules or papules to form (a small, continuous inflammatory elevation of the skin, which may or may not contain pus.
Also commonly known as “razor bumps”). This is an unsightly and undesirable side effect on a bald look.
How do you get it?
There are many ways, but the most common way is to shave a razor in the opposite direction of natural hair growth.
Pubic hair can also be seized by skin from blockages to the hair follicle (also caused by shaving in many cases). In addition, other methods of hair removal, such as shaving, waxing, tweezers, electrolysis, often irritate the hair follicle, and the hair gets trapped under the skin.
What should I do now?
There are many ways of treatment.
The best way, as in all medicine, is prevention. In the second part of this series, we explain how to prevent ingrown pubic hair, but now you need first aid.
So, here are proven methods, some taken from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, who had the same problem 3000 years ago.
oUnderstanding that the body will try to eliminate ingrown pubic hair, help it. Go to the sauna, and when you have created a good sweat, a light scrub (which means exfoliation, that is, removal of dead skin) with the help of loofa.
Loofa is a marine plant that grows in the Nile and looks like a coarse sponge. You can find it in any store that sells bath products.
After the sauna and cleansing, ingrown hair can be loose (due to the expansion of the pore distillation in the sauna) and have ready sterilized tweezers (an ancient method).
Tear them out! One by one. You must stretch the skin tightly, grab the hair near the root and pull it out. Oh! But it works. After each pulling out, apply some antiseptic solution.
If the above is not suitable for you, you can compress the affected area three times a day with a washable cloth soaked in hot water (not too hot!), Followed by any product containing salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid is a strong exfoliating chemical that is useful for releasing such hair.
Ask your pharmacist to recommend such a product. On the market a lot.
o Daily use of compression will help the body fix the problem, but you can also use a little baby oil mixed with aloe vera lotion (do it yourself).
This will prevent further skin irritation, and aloe vera is a natural antiseptic that will help prevent infection in the affected area.
Of course, there are specialists of the salon, but their methods will be expensive and no more efficient than the above.
You can also see your doctor, as in all this, ingrown hairs cannot be a simple problem.
As we said, prevention is the best medicine, and Part 2 of this article shows you how to prevent ingrown hairs.
