**agiraldo** · 02-26-2004, 12:48 PM

Ok so i shave everything including my pubes etc...
I have noticed that I do not really get any ingrown hairs except on my crotch area...? what cna i do and they do not go away after a couple of days ive had these ingrown hairs for about 2-3 weeks cause I have really sensitive skin?
The main problem is since im on around 800mgs of test i started getting sprouts of hair on the bottom of my shaft and this is where the irritation is worse...? How can i prevent these ingrown hair and also how can i make them go away.. please help?
Sorry for the graphic description
Thanks guys

I did have this problem at one point and i had to stop shaving at let the ingrown hairs heal. One peice of advice though, NEVER shave against the grain youll have a nightmare, I know it gets the skin a whole lot smoother but it irritates the hell out of it.

there's a product called 'tend skin' for ingrown hairs..which is basically a salicylic acid (or beta hydroxy acid) solution...that keeps the pores of your skin from getting clogged with sebum, etc so that you have less of a chance of an ingrown hair...and also reduces irritation from shaving...it's good to use on your face too...you could try clearasil's daily face moisturizer...it's inexpensive and can be used anywhere you have problems with ingrown hairs, blackheads, acne...use it every day, even after shaving
the only problem with tend skin, though it does work, is it has a lot of alcohol in it....and since you are putting it down there it could get quite warm...
to prevent them, definitely use a good emollient shaving cream...let it set for a few minutes to really soften the hair...and follow the pattern of hair growth....but it seems that , for me, it's inevitable to get an ingrown hair no matter how careful i am....

That is so true....I usually just throw some alcohol on the razor before I shave and put some baby oil on when I'm threw and it's been working pretty good so far.

if you get yourself a loofah sponge and use this a couple of times a week...all over you won't get any more ingrown hairs....

I found the secret is to use a loufah every time I shower. I use body wash, so as not to overdry the skin, and use a loufah to scrub any dead skin cells away, and then use the suds shave. I've been doing that for about a year, now, and have had very few ingrown hairs.
