Products to try
Certain OTC products can keep your skin exfoliated and moisturized, which helps reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs. Shop for them online:
products containing benzoyl peroxide
products containing retinoids
hydrocortisone cream
products containing glycolic acid
What not to do
Never pop an ingrown hair cyst, as this can increase your risk for infection and scarring.
You also shouldn’t try to lift the hair out with tweezers like you might with a normal ingrown hair. At this point, the hair is embedded far too deep underneath the bump or cyst for you to pull it out.
Instead, you should encourage the bumps and cysts to go down and the hair to straighten upward by gently scrubbing them with a warm cloth a couple of times a day.
