Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. For ingrown hair you can do hot fomentation. Applying (Povidone iodine) betadine ointment locally will be helpful also. If there is more puss collection it should be drained. You can use saline or warm water for washing also. In case there is no improvement then antibiotic therapy will be required. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
