Anyone else having ingrown hair while pregnant?

I have one on my inner thigh that's like sitting on the nerve. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Any advice or what worked for you? I've soaked in a warm/hot bag, used a warm rag and it's just gotten bigger

A ingrown hair is a minor infection of the hair follicle, do you shave or wax ? Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic … make sure to exfoliate after that can help in preventing ingrown and razor rash so much.

And do not mess with it girl , it will get angry

@Niah I haven't shaved there since my belly grew since I can't really see it. Tea tree oil would would help it go sway?

@Areyana yes it will definitely help

@Areyana are you wearing leggings more often ?

@Niah leggings and sweatpants yeah

@Areyana it’s probably the leggings causing it honestly since it’s not from shaving

Recently I got one in my pubic area, almost in the crease where your thigh and lip touch. I don't know how it happened. I hadn't trimmed in over a month. I am guessing just friction, pregnancy hair growth, and pregnancy moisturizer down there. I don't think it's advisable but I got a needle and sterilized it with hydrogen peroxide. I got a little hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball to clean the wound. Then kept applying hygiene peroxide every so often and when I used the restroom til it healed. I probably shouldn't of done that just because of the risk of infection and being pregnant. But it was getting so big under the skin my panty line was hurting me. Also be very careful that there is no rust on the needle. I just didn't know what to do nothing else was working, I guess I could of gotten a doctor to do it but idk. Also I used a hand held mirror to see cause I am too pregnant to see that.

Yes. Use acne patches. They work

For any type of infected follicle ice had a use warm compress with epsom salts. It has helped me in the past. Or if you are able to bathe take an epsom salt bath. It is relaxing and great for your skin. I can only imagine how horrible this is for you now since you cant reach your thigh very well. My tummy isnt even that big but i struggle to rub lotion on my thighs lol
