I have a row of pimple like bumps on my outer genital area; the doctor told me that it is in-grown hairs. Is there home remedy I could use to get rid of this problem?

Ingrown hairs are common and especially in the genital area. The best way to get rid of them is with tweezers, simply open up the bump and release the ingrown hair. You will then need to treat the open bumps with a disinfectant like Echinacea.
After you have removed the ingrown hairs, it is time to prevent this from happening again!
The best way to do this is to exfoliate regularly and use plenty of moisturizer to help keep the skin softt If you shave the effected area, try using an all natural wax instead or be sure to shave in the direction the hair naturally grows to avoid disturbing the hair folliclee As part of prevention, make sure you drink plenty of water to help keep the skin hydratedd
Treating the skin with calendula cream after you shave or wax will help deal with any irritation to the skinn You can also use cocoa butter lotion instead of shaving cream or shaving lotionn This delivers a very close shave and hydrates the skinn It is also very helpful for easing the sting after waxing and helps the skin to heal without ingrown hairss If you have an area that is stubborn about the ingrown hairs, apply pure shea butter to the area after shaving or waxingg
