Ingrown hair
I have a bad ingrown hair (down there) and where my bump is so big I can’t get to it or reach it! I had the torch and mirror out earlier and went in with the tweezers but have cut myself up so bad trying to find it. It’s all swollen and bright red. I have made myself bleed from cutting up my skin however the hair is so deep I just can’t possibly get to it :(
What can I do? If I leave it and put watered down tea tree oil to prevent infection will it go by itself?

If you can get some- try magnesium sulphate paste (get it from the pharmacy in a little pot) spread it all over the sore bit and cover with a plaster overnight and the hair should come to the surface to pull out. I used to work in a hospital and a nurse told it it’s the “dogs b******s*” for splinters, Ingrown hairs and any other foreign objects like glass shards for example. As far as I’m aware it’s safe for use in pregnancy ☺️ Failing that do you have anyone that can help get it out for you? X

Just leave it like that for a day or two, or just put a plaster over it and remove it. When it wi get a bit dry, just remove the plaster and allow it to heal. The hair will grow out eventually,
