To prevent ingrown hairs, it is best to avoid irritants as much as possible. Suggestions include using a fragrance-free lotion or cream multiple times a day, washing with a fragrance-free soap like Dove, avoiding hot water during showers, and protecting the skin from sun exposure. It may also be beneficial to minimize shaving with a blade, as it can irritate the skin and hinder healing. Using a clean electric razor on the affected area may be less irritating.
