ingrown hair difficulty
Does anyone have any remedies for sore ingrown hair-type red sores on the private parts? How to get rid of this ? Wrong saddle? What does one do to prevent this and/or treat this touchy ( 50+ yrs old) female problem. Gross! Thank you in advance!

Wax and exfoliate with a buff puff. It's a bit embarassing but worth it in the long run. By the way, go to a salon ~ I know, I don't like it either, but they are professionals and do it every day. It's also way better than ingrown hair ~ ouch.

Re: ingrown hair difficulty
it happens... seems to be more of a problem for me when the blades dull. In the area your speaking of, you can get debris in an "open" folicle which can be painful and nasty. Sometimes it's the products you use (cream, jel, whatever) that can irrate the skin, and not be an ingrown. TO be honest ever since I've managed a clean house in that area I have have much less problems than when I let nature run it's course... I think it's just easuer to keep the skin clean there, apply oitments when needed, etc.
good luck HR |

Stop shaving. I had to due to a horrid case of an infected hair follicle/s, it is just not worth what I went through until I figured out the shaving was the cuprit.  |

i agree if you can wax it, or get it done by a professional I find I have much less trouble. All you need do then is just lufor (rough sponge) to exfoliate, I know it's a "delicate" area but its worth 5 seconds of being uncomfortable than picking out in-grown’s. Also try to keep the area clean and well moisturized this works for me but my "equipment" is slightly different to yours aurora!?

Chammy cream works - if you keep the area lubed, there's less chance of ingrown hairs. Some say to wax it all off, some say this makes it worse. I think it varies from person to person! Well fitting shorts helps too - if they're too loose, they bunch up, cause friction and ingrown hairs may result. Good luck! |

Re: ingrown hair difficulty
My GYN reccomended Gold Bond lotion, it definately helps soothe chafed skin and seems to prevent too many ingrowns!!

I can't wax anywhere, the results are unpleasant. Ditto shaving if I don't do it right ( I'm a frail violet). My irritation/ingrown-hair-free shave technique: 1) very sharp razor (I use a 'man's' non-disposable safety razor, and replace the double-sided blade each time I shave). 2) low irritant shave soap (I use a 'non-soap' dermatological soap) 3) shave once over area, in direction of hair growth. This shave is not quite as smooth as shaving against hair growth, but is smooth/clean to the eye. Those times when I want 'extra smooth' I'll do an additional once over against direction of hair growth. I also use a non-greasy moisturiser afterwards, that has colloidal oatmeal in it (natural anti-inflamatory). For me this is important. No moisturiser leaves my skin dry & prone to infection/ingrown hairs. Greasy moisturiser blocks folicles (leading to infection). I'm in Australia, the products I use are 'Dermaveen'. I think an equivalent in the USA is Aveeno. |
