How can I draw out an ingrowing hair?

Any suggestions? It’s a groin hair. I’ve tried to dig the fucker out but no luck. Is there anything I can apply to the area to help bring it to the surface? It’s driving me mad!

Smoother it in magnesium sulphate and cover with a plaster and leave over night. That should bring it to the surface.

Yes you should get it in Boots, Superdrug etc

Seconding the mag sulphate paste. Works a treat. About £3 over the counter.

There is a clear lotion called ingrow from boots. I've used that before and it's worked.

Brilliant thanks all!

Bit unorthodox but you could try wearing blister plasters - it will soften the top layer of skin and draw anything out if there’s a cut in the spot/skin
