Girls: Ingrown hairs in "that area" help!

Pics needed as evidence.

If I hadn't already used my Rep for today, I'd be negative repping you.

i got them before, really bad, huge lumps very painful and even pussy!! i never could have thought it was ingrown hairs but went to the doctor twice and they assured me it was..she said using dry sea salt to exfoliate!! havent tried it though...but thats what the dr said helps prevent it!

wtf is wrong with you??

now i see where you get the links for 'goatse' and all that crap

I believe this link will better inform you of my intentions.

This site is far too tame for me to procure "all that crap"

Thanks, it's good to know I'm not alone, from speaking to mates (only close ones obviously) about it it seems to be a really common problem so I'm surprised we never hear more about how to stop them, its a nightmare!

I did try veet once and it got rid of the hair alright, but the red marks are still there. I know it might be a case of just waiting for them to fade but I've been waiting about six months and only noticed a very small difference. Do you think that cream for scars would make them go away?

And whatever you do, don't epilate. Oh God, the pain. And the ingrown hairs... *shudder*

Is this true? I really wanted to buy one..

Anon please, this is embarrassing!

Bascially I've always been one for liking my "bits" to be nice and tidy. I got waxed every month for a couple of years but then found myself a bit short of money and decided to just switch to shaving. Since then I've been getting the WORST ingrown hairs, like little red bumps that sometimes get inflamed. I even went for an STD check to make sure it wasn't anything else but the nurse just told me it was ingrown hairs and I should tweezer them out, let my hair grow and exfoliate regularly.

I've been following her advice but they still aren't going away and some of them seem to be leaving small dark red scars. It's really embarrassing. I'm scared boys will think I have some kind of disease and I hate not being able to shave.

Anyone else get this/know how in the world to get rid of them?

And boys: if a girl told you that's what it was would you believe her or would you run a mile thinking she was absolutely ridden?

Seriously, epilate or wax. If you shave you're only asking for that problem!
