Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Sometimes such hair causes and infection because it gets ingrown. In that case, it should be removed with surrounding tissues, otherwise an infection will come back.

Other possible reason of infection recurrence is bacteria resistance to given antibiotics. In such case, pus culture test should be done to give proper antibiotic.

Increased blood sugar level very often makes us prone to such infections. So it can be a symptom of diabetes. That is why I suggest you to have blood sugar checked.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
