I continually get ingrown hairs, even without shaving. What can I do to prevent this and avoid them turning into infected abscesses?

If you are experiencing recurrent ingrown hairs, even without shaving, there are a few steps you can take to prevent them and avoid them turning into infected abscesses. One option is to consult with a professional esthetician who can recommend specific products or techniques to help reduce ingrown hairs. Additionally, avoiding shaving for at least three weeks may also help prevent ingrown hairs from forming. Unfortunately, there may be limited options available at pharmacies for treating ingrown hairs. It's important to seek professional advice to find the best solution for your specific skin type and situation.
