Answer by  Kaichia55 (74)

There is a product used for ingrown hairs sold in grocery stores. Skin Tight is relatively cheap and works really well. They have different versions of Skin Tight. I would recommend the sensitive skin version first before moving on to anything stronger.

Basically you want to be taking vaniqa to cure this problem. You can also use a home remedy made of turmeric and gram flour. Then you will apply this to the face and scrub towards the direction of hair growth.

Topical medications and preparations such as Oxy 5 or Proactiv may be used to treat from "the outside in". To treat from the "inside out" there are many options. One fairly "non-annoying" option is Doxycyline. This medication can cause upset stomach, increased risk for sunburn, and variety of less likely side effects, but it is effective.
