Suggest Treatment For Ingrown Hair Near The Vaginal Opening

Hi! Okay in the past few months I noticed I started to get what appears to be ingrown hair, or acne on and around my vagina. I really only need to trim this are as my hair generally doesn t grow that fast. I ve steered away fro shaving, or waxing, just as a precaution. But now I am getting concerned as I now have much scaring, and I m constantly uncomfortable. Could there be any other reason as to why this is happenening? Is there anything I can do to help stop this?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Accumulation of sweat and greasy environment can be a reason. Trimming is good in such case. You can do hot fomentation on the area you have in grown hair. Betadine ointment application is helpful also. Taking vitamin C daily is good also. You can also use intimate wash daily which is helpful in normalising vaginal bacterial flora and PH.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
