So, I have black and white chest hairs. The white chest hairs are different from the black chest hairs in a few ways. First, they aren't as coarse and seem to be thinner and softer than the black chest hairs. Second, the white chest hairs are frequently ingrown. Today, I decided to scrape tweezers across my chest as my skin in certain areas seemed rougher and was slightly bumpy. When I did this, I discovered that white chest hairs...hundreds...started emerging from underneath my skin. Third, when I pluck the white hairs that are creating bumps they are much more difficult to pull out and seem almost anchored in my skin compared to normal hairs.
Questions:
Why do the white chest hairs frequently remain ingrown?
More importantly: How do I prevent this and/or get them out of my skin if I do have them?
