Default Ingrown hair on my nipple

ok so this is embarrassing. apart from having hairs all around i also have to pluck them from my nipples...and this is the first time that i have an ingrown. i wouldnt panic if it was somewhere else...
it hurts pretty much.not sure what to do. any suggestions? will it pass by itself?

Have you thought about trying bikini zone gel. It does wonders in the bikini area after you shave. Hope you feel better soon.

i've put chloramphenicol. it has helped me once when i had an ingrown ''down rhere'' and i put it on my acnes and it seems to help sometimes...

well, i could try a cream i have for ingrowing hair which you put after waxing and plucking. though these creams never helped me before...
but thnx

(p.s. maybe i should have putten this topic in the hair loss/hair growth forum.sorry)

Default hot compress

Hot compress is usually the only remedy for me in the past.

If it isn't too deep you might be able to 'work it out' easily by squeezing it. But if its kinda deep or sore I wouldn't mess with it that way.

I get them all the time around my nipples. If you don't touch it for a few days, it usually goes away. If it really bothers you... try massaging it in the shower.

i can see it but it's too deep to pick it out and i wouldnt mess with that area.
usually when i pick out ingrowns that are too deep i mess things up even more.
at the moment it's getting bigger and it's forming a white top, so if it forms into a zit with a mature top i'll squeeze it out. it has to come out somehow.....i hope...

Argh, this happened to me once, too, and it was SO painful. It seemed like I always got one in the spring for some reason.

Every night I would take a warm shower and place a warm washcloth over it to serve as a compress. After the shower, I'd dab it with a lotion that has a mild acid in it--maybe one of the anti-aging lotions from Olay or Vaseline? Eventually, it formed into a head so I was able to give it a gentle squeeze and tweezed the hair out.

Ouchie! Hope you get relief soon!
