Try this product called Tend Skin. Bikini Zone works ok too (and you can get it at Wal-Mart). For treating ones you have already, go to a health food store and get some cream with Tea Tree Oil in it. That stuff works miracles on cuts, zits, ingrowns, any skin thing. Just put a little on it every day.\n\nWhen you first notice you are getting an ingrown try and pull it up from under the skin with a pair of tweezers or a needle after you wipe it down with rubbing alcohol. You can also use a hot compress (a warm washcloth) on the ingrown a few times a day to help work it out.

Actually, pubic hair is there to protect the body from infections. its kinda like a second skin or shield from the outside. some people do shave their pubic hair but some say its dangerous because they lose their 2nd coat of protection. but its whatever :P

Very carefully, shave down from the root in the direction that the hair grows. This will help to eliminate ingrown hairs, which are common with shaving. If you get alot of ingrown hairs you might want to consider another method of hair removal like waxing, or Nair(which i prefer).

Could be an ingrown hair?

Do you mean a bikini wax? You can have this done at a beauty salon. A Hollywood is the total removal of all hair, whereas a Brazillian leaves a landing strip down the middle. Don't be embarrassed about having it done professionally, the beauty therapists do these all the time.\n\nIf you want to do it yourself, I'd recommend Nads. It's an Australian wax, made of natural products like fruity stuff. It is water soluble so if you put it in the wrong place it'll just wash off. Also it doesn't stick to the skin, just the hair, so it's not *quite* as painful. You can get it in the UK and Australia, and maybe the US too. If you can't find it, then pick a good quality wax and try it out.\n\nBefore you do the waxing, exfoliate a couple of days before, and moisturise regularly.\n\nUse the spatula to apply a thin layer to a small section, the smooth down the cloth onto the wax, in the direction of hair growth. Take a deep breath and pull it off quickly, in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Try to pull the cloth towards you rather than upwards to prevent bruising.\n\nAfterwards, try using products to prevent redness and ingrown hairs. Moisturise, and exfoliate (externally obviously, on the pubic area rather than too close to the genitals).\n\nIf you find it really painful, take a painkiller an hour beforehand, and do it in the week after your period when you pain threshold is highest.

DON'T USE CHEAP RAZORS.USE A RAZOR WITH CHANGABLE RAZORS LIKE:MACH 3,VENUS,ETC.MAKE SURE IT HAS A MOISTURIZER STRIP ON IT AND SKINTIMATE SHAVING GEL FOR SENSITIVE SKIN.THEN PUT DEODERANT DOWN THERE ,ON YOUR SKIN ONLY, THATS FOR A MOISTERIZER AND FRAGENCE. AND DON'T WEAR TIGHT PANTIES,BECAUSE IT CAN RUB AND MAKE YOU IRRITATE THE SKIN.

shaving your bikini is never such a good idea, unless you exfoliate, use a very sharp razor and good shaving lotion. i have found that the easiest, cheapest and best of all painless way to remove unwanted hair is with hair-removal creams. veet does a good one for sensitive areas/ bikini. good luck!

I have the answer!!  Neosporin gel.  After you get out of the shower just rub a little over the surface area, but not near your woowho.  Just use it for the first couple days after you've shaved - it prevents the razor burn and the bumps...

My best advice is to get waxed! I know it hurts like hell and it's a bit costly, but it's WELL worth it. No stubble either, the hair comes back smooth and soft! And PLEASE ignore the guy that said to use a dull raison, your bikini line will look like raw hamburger!\n\nIf you are adament about using a razor, I recomend one of the ones made for ladies and make sure the blade is sharp, never use it more then twice for your bikini area. A sensitive shaving gel is a good investment too and there are bikini zone gels to nip bumps in the butt before they start.

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!!

Here's the deal ladies.  Guys will take it either way.  However, their are some downfalls to the shave/wax business. For starters, when the stubble sets in, it's like sand paper.  So unless you willing to keep up the maintenance go with a tight trim. Secondly, the ingrown hair look isn't the best.  You know what appears to be red little pimple bumps from shaving?  Not attractive.\nKeep it trim, clean and eat pineapple or some citrus fruit.  The guy will go snorkeling more if the water taste right.

Ingrown hairs typically occur after waxing or close shaving. Hair is removed from the root or just below the surface of the skin and can become trapped as it grows out. This is commonly associated with bacterial infections that enter skin pores immediately after hair removal. The mild infection then clogs up the pore. preventing the hair from growing out.\n\nIf you suffer from a great many ingrown hairs then try applying a light layer of ingrown hair treatment like Tend Skin immediately after removing hair.

It's much more likely that you have ingrown hairs from going to the barbershop.  You might try a solution called "TendSkin".  It works REALLY well at lessening appearance of razor bumps/ingrown hairs.  The URL is below

Well there are a few differnt reasons it can happen. Infection of the hair folicles, Irritation , and ingrown hairs.\n\nThe best way to shave is to shave with a new or sharp razor and shaving cream for sensative skin, shave in one direction to limit the irritation, and do not apply alot of pressure. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin, and possibly clog your pores. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nAnd yes it will itch but the Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

Ingrown Hairs, as the name implies, occur when the end of the hair shaft is cut resulting in a sharpened edge that as it grows, curls back into the same hair follicle and results in an inflammatory response (redness, itchiness, and/or raised infected area). At times the small “ingrown hair” hair itself can even be seen beneath the raised area. Thus the hair is “ingrown” in that it does not penetrate the dermis as it grows, as it should.\nCauses include:\nSkin suffering from lack of moisture \nStiff hair \nEmbedded oil in the hair follicles \nBuild up of dead skin cells in the pores and on the surface of the skin can cause ingrown hairs - some are more prone to this than others due to genetics \nCoarse curly hair growing in a curved hair follicle \nImproper shaving technique with a blade such as too close a shave \nHair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, often irritate the hair follicle.
