I have in the past plucked a few hairs from the 'underbelly' of my penis one night. Unfortunately, two instances of ingrown hairs came from it. One of them has been a problem i've had for well over 3 possibly 4 years now, at least.
I had been squeezing out the pus, until i decided to leave it alone and not squeeze it, I am unsure of the date or year that i stopped squeezing it. it has to be over a year, possibly 2. well, this ingrown hair or damaged follicle is now rather large and quite pus filled and has not healed.
i had helped the other ingrown hair to emerge by using a rag doused w/ hot salt water. i had done this several days in a row until the pustule essentially became an open wound and there i could see the hair curled back into the skin. I pulled the end out growing back in & have not had any more problems with it. However, on this larger one I'm afraid more serious damage has occurred.
I have been hesitant to attempt OTC medication for this, as I've read that these can be harsh. The penis being such a sensitive area, that thought naturally worries me. I have been extremely self conscious of it.
Would this be too sensitive of an area for laser removal?
What would be my best option at this point?
