There are a variety of creams to use to help prevent ingrown hairs from occurring. Keep in mind healthier natural ingredients usually work best with your body. Of course, avoid any creams containing ingredients you know you have an allergy to. You will want cream ingredients that exfoliate, examples of which include raw sugar as well as glycolic and salicylic acid. You want to choose a cream that also hydrates, moisturizes, and repairs the skin. This benefit is found in vitamins B5 and E. In addition, be sure to select cream that will lessen inflammation and soothe the affected skin area. Ingredients like chamomile and allantoin are good for this.

Ingrown hairs are an extremely common occurrence, and while most of them will heal on their own, this is not always the case. If a pesky ingrown hair refuses to heal, the affected individual will need to seek treatment from a medical professional. Undergoing ingrown hair removal by a doctor is a very simple process. The doctor will make a small surgical cut directly on the skin affected by the problematic hair. This will open the skin and allow the ingrown hair to escape. This cut is so small patients will not any stitches to heal. It will also not leave a scar, so there is no reason for individuals to avoid getting an ingrown hair removed by a doctor should it become necessary.
