ingrown hair in my um ... ladygarden. What do I do?

Dh located this little lump on my skin, in my pubes. It looks to me (viewed in a mirror) like one of my hairs has ingrown, but it's utterly inaccessible to me.

Do I see the Dr. about it?

If it doesn't bother you, leave it be. If it's sore, go to the GP. If you trust your dh, give him a pair of tweezers and ask him to liberate the hair. Or can you be vigorous with a loofa there?

Can dh sort it out for you? Get him to pick it out with a needle, like you would a splinter. Ime, if you leave it, it will turn into something a bit like a spot, will then probably pop out.

could do - or get your dh on the job with a sterilised needle, you only need to scratch the surface and it should 'pop out'

Go to the salon and let them deal with it.

Like Hunkeydoery said it will go to a spot and then the hair will come out with it.

Could you have a "trim" so you can get to it?

Does it hurt? If so, see you GP asap.


(it won't necessarily just turn into a spot)
