"How to treat an ingrown hair?"

A ingrown hair will usually go away on its own. It is not recommended to try to remove it as this can increase the risk of infection. If the area is not too swollen, you can apply warm compresses to help soften the skin. It is important to maintain good hygiene and continue with the warm compresses until the ingrown hair resolves. If you have any concerns or if the swelling worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
