Pop them.\n\nActually, steralize a needle, clean the boil and lance it. Then put antibiotic ointment on it and keep it coveredc and it will heal like any other wound.

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.

bring it to a dermatologist. the wart is located in your face so any DIY remedy might result in a nasty scar.

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).

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.

It would be more helpful to have a better description,but it could possibly be small boils,pimples,excess oil in your hair or excessive sweating may contribute to pimples there. The other person that said ingrown hairs is correct also. And it could possibly be eczema or psoriasis too. If it is bothersome,get it checked out by a dermatologist.

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.

No, it can't.\n\nAssuming you do it correctly (ie, lancing it with needle), bursting a boil will not increase the levels of bacteria in your system (which would cause your glands to swell).\n\nIt'd actually reduce the swelling, if there was any swelling.\n\nHowever, going to a doctor is the best solution.  More then likely he'll lance it himself.  While a bit painful, the infection can weep, which will reduce swelling and redness.\n\nAlso, don't listen to people who say stuff like "take dandelion root".  Listen to people who have degrees in biology or their PhD in medicine.  :P  A couple old wives tales that aren't true are listed below...\n\nGo outside without a sweater and you'll get a cold.\nPimples are caused by eating lots of sweets.

Those are most likely boils and they are caused by the staph bacteria.  Use a warm compress on them several times a day to get them to open up.  If they don't open on their own or you get them often you may need to see the doc to get them taken care of and to get antibiotics for them.  They have nothing to do with cancer and some people are  more prone to boils than others.

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.

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!!

I have this disease, and it isn't fun believe me. Blockages in the sweat glands or follicles occur, causing extremely painful boils in the the arm pits, under breasts, groin, pubic areas and the perineum.  I usually get three or more a month in one, or all above areas at the same time. No one seems to know what causes it. Could be hereditery since my mother had this. It is seen mostly in women. It can occur during puberty, but onset is mainly seen in the 30's. There is also no cure, except for the draining and healing of each boil. Ppl with this  condition also have a greater risk of skin cancer and is seen in almost 50% of the patients that have had this condition long term, over a period of decades. In very severe cases, cutting out the most affected areas is recommended.  Mastectomies in women and penile extractions in men sometimes have to be done.  Some studies suggest that in diabetics with this condition, cutting out caffeine from the diet tends to slow down the onset of the boils. I hope this helps. Have a great day
