Suggest Ways To Remove Ingrown Hair Under The Chin

I have a deep embedded ingrown hair under my chin and I can catch the hair with the tweezers and I tug hard but it refuses to lift out. Catching the hair between the tweezers is easy, but I will not budge and I end up with it bleeding everywhere and a hole in my face. What is stopping it from coming out?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
If you can't get the hair out, you probably have a folliculitis problem--an infection in the hair shaft.

At this point, instead of trying to deal with it on your own, I suggest you see a doctor for a course of oral antibiotics to clear things up
