Suggest Remedy For Painful Ingrown Hair In Genital Area Caused After Shaving
So I shave my private area frequently and usually get ingrown hairs. Most of the time they re small and go away within a couple of days, but this time it s bigger, almost 2 times the size of a normal one and it s excruciating. I can t even touch it because it s so painful. I don t know if I should just wait it out or should I be worried about it because I don t want it to be anything serious.

Hi,
There might be having secondary bacterial infection following shaving.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Amoxicilin for 3-5 days.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine as well.
Ok and take care.
