Tea tree oil helped me!! When occasionally an ingrown hair becomes lumpy and aches I apply a couple of drops before bed, and in the morning... gone!!

You have great circulation ! People with vascular/circulatory problems do not have hairy toes and legs. Your problem is an indication of good health. Some cultures love hairy women. You don't like it, so continue the tiresome, daily shaving and remember that you are actually lucky to have something to complain about...LOL. Good luck.

It might be an ingrown hair in which case you need to get the hair out.  You might try squeezing it or go back to the doctor & see if they can bill you later.

If you use an epilator, instead of shaving, like the new epilady you will have less hair to deal with (and it does not hurt half as much as some people say it does) and so you will have less ingrown hair.  Especially after the first month or so of using it.  Waxing instead of shaving will also have the same effect.\n\nAlternatively, if that is not an option for you, wearing spandex shorts that are tight on your leg and prevent chafing of your leg when you exercise will help too.\n\nYou can get some stuff at a drug store called “Bikini Zone” that you put on after shaving that does help some...\n\nEventually, if you do nothing, the skin on your thigh will firm up and become more like the skin on the rest of your leg (but still be just as sensitive) and won’t develop ingrown hair as much.

im sorry honey. well.. how about a lil bit of bit of hair wax that you buy at a local store, and just dab a little bit all around like in messy spikes and itll look very trendy. Now ...if there is no haior left at all.. then wear your new look with pride. it just takes some time to get used to something new. Look in the mirror, make cool super smooth faces while you listen to your favorite hype u up song. Hope everything works out !

I've personally never had any black heads on my legs but my suggestion would be to exfoliate your legs daily. Get something like St. Ives apricot scrub and a loofah and scrub your legs daily with it. Good Luck!

What's going on inside our bodies tends to show on the outside.  Treat this internally by taking cod liver oil capsules.  These are very good for hair, skin, nails, etc.\n\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Oh my god! youre name is badger with a gun! i Always say that! its eddie izzard isnt it? nice one. anyway, to your dilemma, i epilate my legs and underarms, it doesnt really hurt, it takes out really short hairs by the root so your skin is really soft for weeks. and when the hairs grow back they are much softer anyway so epilating hurts less each time. some epilators have a 28 day money back deal if you dont get on with it, so, no harm trying, give it a go! good luck. x

It could be an ingrown hair.  When you shave there, always use a fresh razor to prevent staph infection.  Wash the area first with soap and follow with witch hazel to close the pores.  Watch the ingrown hair for signs of infection and use neosporine to heal it faster.  Eventually, the hair will surface and you can tweeze it out.

The best way to think of ingrowing hair is like it is trapped under the skin. The best way I have found to stop it is to exfoliate the skin. This should relly be done on a regular basis as the aim is to prevent them bofrore they develop. There are lots of exfoliators on the market, including ones specifically designed to stop ingrowing hair.

You have just discovered the joys of shaving your genitalia!!\nRemember the next few weeks, remember the itching and bumps, and NEVER ask a girl to do that!!\nI wouldn't do it again if I were you, but if you are into self-punishment go right ahead....\nAnyway it is not acne, it is irritation or an ingrown hair.  Don't squeeze ingrown hairs, it will only make it worse.  The only thing to do is wait, and perhaps buy a loofah and exfoliate the area.  Just don't leave that loofah in the bathroom after you are done.  Good Luck!\n\nBTW Chayel30, it's menstrual blood that smells fishy, after it's been exposed to oxygen.  The smell has nothing to do with pubic hair, and if a woman keeps herself clean, she won't have to worry about smelling bad.

Could be an ingrown hair?

Sure, you cut a V at the top of the nail, and it will pull the ingrown toenail out of the surrounding skin to "heal itself".  Or you can dig and dig at it and cut the darn thing out of your skin (of course that hurts like a biatch). I had that problem.  Try wearing a wider shoe, don't leave your socks on all the time, and keep your toenails clipped.  This will help.

You need to take nail scissors and cut the side of the nail that's embedded and pull it out of the skin.\n\nThen you need a several times a day regimen of using hydrogen peroxide on it.. followed by neosporin.. and a bandaid.  \n\nSoaking in salt water (epsom preferably) will also help.  \n\nIn all honesty.. you may need to go to the doctor.\n\nHere's a good article:\n\nhttp://www.footphysicians.com/footankleinfo/ingrown-toenail.htm

Well unless you have a major ingrown hair its got to be a hemoroid. They can be easily told apart. Plus ones a vein that sticks out. You get those if you have children to.\n\nDo you have hair that grows out of your butt?
