The last two times I have shaved my chest,stomach, etc. I ended up with a couple of ingrown hairs. They looked like little zits. popped them, wiped it down with alcohol swabs, the next day, its a solid mass. super sore, bright red and the size of a golf ball. this would carry on for a couple days, a white head would pop up, i would drain it, then it would form a scab, this scab would grow, and then there was some necrosis, ended up with a f@#$#ing crater in my stomach, deep hole about 1/2" deep. in the last 2 months I have had 4 of them. they are really fricking painful. anyone have any ideas?
I have tried putting neosporin on them but that didn't seem to help. I have tried peroxide, it just seems that no matter what I do they just have to run their course.

Get a new method of getting rid of the hair. I've experienced this before and it sucks. I Nair these days and really haven't seen this problem, try it,,,it may or may not work.
