Ingrown hair or something more serious?

[snj19850]

I regularly shave "down there" and, as a result, get ingrown hairs occasionally, usually in the same area. Recently, I noticed an ingrown hair on my vulva, waited for it to emerge, and plucked it. However, it has now been a few days and I still have a bump there. If I squeeze it, it feels hard...almost like scar tissue. I am growing concerned that this could be something more. I have been in a monogamous sexual relationship for about a year now, and we have both been tested and are STD free. I also told my OB GYN about this ingrown hair problem during my last visit a few months ago, and she didn't seem to be concerned; however, there was no "lasting bump" at that point. Should I be worried?

hi i just read your post and sorry to say i dont have an answer for your problem but just wondering if you could help me with mine. you say that you shave "down there" regularly and only get the occasional ingrown hair. when i try and shave it results in many ingrown hairs every time do you use any other products or methods to reduce the amount of ingrown hairs you get?
Cheers :)
