In-grown Hair
by mlb2008, Oct 07, 2009 06:07PM
Hello~ this is a little embarrassing... but I have had, for about 7-10 years now, a re-accurring problem with a in-grown hair in the same place over and over again. It goes away for a few months - but always returns. Once I did go to the doctor for it - and naturally she told me it was an in-grown hair and just squeezed the pus out. She just told me to keep an eye on it and keep it clean. Unfortunally for me - the in-grown hair in right on my panty line on the inside on my thigh. (yes it is probably caused from shaving) or at least that is what I assume. Please help me - this is such a horrible and painful situation that I have been living with for many years. Thanks ~ Michele in Texas.

They seem like boils or furuncle. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription. If there are recurrent boils, then please get your blood sugar levels estimated.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Warm regards.
