Why do I get so many ingrown hairs!?

Hey every body, I'm a 23 y/o male, and I'm constantly getting ingrown hairs! They are mainly on my arms, but I often get them on my thighs and sometimes my buttocks, and seldom my pubic area, chest and stomach. I don't shave any of those areas that I get them the most (arms and legs) so it confuses me, I would expect to get them in my pubic region from trimming. I am a very hairy guy, but it's getting to the point where I have 2 or even 3 on b my arms at a time, they get painful sometimes, and are embarrassing because they become quite noticeable. I use body was usually daily, idk if that could be it. But I'm just looking for advice on why I get them and maybe some ways to prevent it in the future. Thanks!
