OK mumsnet, someone must know how to remove this ingrown hair (with photo)

[Inarightpickleandchutney]

I fear minor surgery may be required.

Any ideas?

Ooo. Whopper.

I'd heat a needle in the flame of the gas cooker and pop it (1970s childhood)

I'm scared, what if I just end up burning myself??

I'd also use a (sterilised in boiling water) needle to break the skin, gently squeeze out the gunk and then have a fish about with the needle for the hair, then put some antiseptic/tea tree cream on it

Needle doesn't have to be hot when you use it just clean!

Beauty....

Ok, I'll see if I have a needle. Is mag sulph not called for?

Plus I don't have a gas cooker it's just electric

Or the flame of a match or lighter. The needle doesn't need to be hot, the heat sterilises it.

I think I was brought up by wolves!

What a beauty! I'd definitely be sterilising a needle, letting it cool and giving that a good poke! Squeezing that will be incredibly satisfying.

Can someone not come round and do it for me??!! I fear this is going to hurt...

Where do you live, I have special tools from Amazon for these joyous situations😈😱

I think we need links to those tools.

South coast.... What tools?
It doesn't hurt but it's grown recently

Give it a good squish from the bottom.

I'm on the south coast! Go to Amazon type in blackhead remover and go from there. Lots of lovely pokey tools for removing things from skin. A needle will do though, just dip it in a jug of boiling water for a minute. Or have a hot bath.

I've been in the bath already and its not for shifting.
Ok, I'm going to look into Amazon

No no no... Amazon is great for any future things you want to poke at... but this one you are currently nursing needs something doing to it right now.

Go find a pin, put the kettle on for boiling water and fetch a tissue and off you go !

Do you know for certain that it's a hair though? Just looks like an unready spot to me?

That's going to feel so good.

It's been there ages, definitely a hair.
Ok I'll report back

There are lots of experts in Sporner Corner who will give advice!

We need a video of this happening OP.

I bet its like 2 inches long!!!

Tools?! Niiiice. Hot bath, squeeze then have a dig around

Have a couple of stiff drinks to steady the nerves first.
