A little help here?

Being one who plucks her brows, and knowing there are others out there who do the same I have need of a bit of advice.
What do you do when one of those little buggers gets ingrown?
Aside from pick at it incessantly which certainly does not help the situation.

Wish I could help. I leave mine up to the professionals. This Italian and Native American hair of mine has a life of it's own if it's not tended to regularly by someone who knows what they're doing.

I'd probably end up picking at it incessantly though, if it were me. :-) :_)

Nej a professional might have the answer. It doesn't happen often so I'll just keep on trying not to pick for now.

A warm compress helps open the pore so you can get that little fucker out. Also, it helps to pluck AFTER your shower so your poors are open and you won't get so many ingrowns. Trust me, I pluck every day (I'm like Clint Eastwood in the mirror daring those little fuckers to grow in).

WG-I usually pluck every day too, I can't think of the last time this has happened. I'll do the compress. Maybe the ingrown hair will "make my day"!

Don't do much to it (otherwise it could become a scar). Treat it like an infection/ pimple. Use steam, pimple cream or glycolic acid. Anything beyond that, leave to the Derma.. been there done that!

Victoria it is slowly getting better, but damn it's driving me crazy!
