Ingrown hair, a common skin condition, occurs when hair grows inward instead of outward, leading to inflammation and discomfort. This condition can affect individuals of all ages and skin types, particularly those who shave, wax, or tweeze their hair.
Ingrown hairs are often unsightly and can cause pain, itching, and infection. Historically, they have been treated with various methods, including topical creams and ointments, laser therapy, and surgery. Today, advancements in skincare and dermatology have led to innovative solutions to prevent and treat ingrown hairs effectively.
