Those who shave, wax, or use another procedure to eliminate pubic hair may be more likely to ingrown hairs. Tight clothing that irritates the skin might cause ingrown pubic hairs.

Causes

– Most ingrown hairs heal themselves. If a bump becomes itchy or irritating, home remedies might help cure it. – Home remedies for vaginal ingrown hair include: – Using a hot compress. The heat helps hair rise. Using clean, sterilized tweezers, remove the hair. Scarring might result from plucking hairs before it's visible.

Treatment

– Stop shaving until ingrown hairs disappear. Shaving and plucking may cause discomfort and infection. – Soap and warm water for washing. Lightly circularly rubbing ingrown hairs for 10 to 15 seconds softens skin. – Apply ointment daily. This reduces infection risk.

A doctor should treat infected bumps. Infections can cause red, pus-filled bumps, swelling, or painful bleeding. A doctor may prescribe antibiotic ointment or wash. Antibiotics may be used for severe infections.
