Ingrown hairs because of a scar
by tcboost12, Nov 12, 2008 10:50PM
I fell playing hockey when I was younger and received a nice scar on my chin. I am now 26 and recently banged my chin and got a cut on or right by my old scar. The cut scabbed over, but wasn't healing like I thought it should. I soon realized that the new scab caused some ingrown hairs. I know I shouldn't have messed around with it, but I did and ended up digging out some of the ingrown hairs. But like I knew, the hairs grew back, and since it is right by my old scar, they can grow through. I want to leave it alone, but the ingrown hairs get infected and cause the scar to look bigger and swollen. Any advice?
