I have ingrown pubic hairs after my Tummy Tuck. Can you tell me the best way to deal with them?

Asked By:jbnaples in Naples, FL

I had my tummy tuck in September and I'm thrilled with the results. My only concern is ingrown hairs. My incision is very low, and I've had a few ingrown hairs already, some very deep. They are located in a two inch section and are not directly on the scar, but right below it. It gets a red spot, and swells a bit until the hair is pulled above the skin. Can you tell me the best way to deal with them? How do I prevent them, and when they occur, what's the best practice to take care of them?
