Yeah mang, ingrown hairs are annoying. I've never had one but I'm sure they suck. 🙂

no... like a hair the grows underneath ur skin... an never quite breaks thru. sometimes they turn into some mean zits. but not too often.

o ok.... i didn't know that exists.... how can you tell if you have one? just feel it?

They suck along with nose hair & ear hair (you will get these as you get older) 😛

it's not really digging. i just kinda scratch it to scrap the thin layer of skin off... then yank it out with a tweezer.

Yeah...they suck hardcore.

yeah, I've got a ton of them on my legs and arms. I'm pretty sure that they only stay ingrown for a little while, because they're usually not very deep and it really just requires a scratch of the fingernail for them to come loose. However, occasionally I get some that run very deep.... and one time I had a massive one on my knee that swelled up and got infected.

On the topic of ingrown toenails, my toenails are curved a lot more than usual, so that at the sides they're almost like 90 degrees to the top part of my toenail.... so the sides tend to dig into the flesh of my toes.... I've got to be very careful when I cut the corners, esp. on my big toe. When I was 17, I had surgery to remove part of my right big toenail because it had become ingrown and got infected :Q😱 It looks perfectly normal now, but you could tell if you looked at the left one for comparison.

Sometimes they are caused by shaving. Be sure to use cold water when you shave for less razor burn, cuts, and ingrown hairs.

combine a jar of rubbing alcohol, witch hazel and aspirin -- shake it up and apply it. it stings a little but works miracles, especially for after shaving sensitive skin (e.g. bikini)
