Ingrown Hair Cessation of Shaving
Can cessation of shaving help in eliminating the problem of ingrown hair? Areas of repetitive hair removal such as men’s neck, women’s chin, the pubic region, legs, and face are at a high risk of developing ingrown hair. Ingrown hair develops when hair embeds in the skin or coils sideways instead of emerging out of the skin’s surface. It is usually accompanied by symptoms such as pain, pruritus, and firm pustules which may be hyper-pigmented or skin colored. Severe cases may result in formation of ingrown hair scabs .
