Smooth skin is the dream of many girls. But despite the amazing variety of ways to remove hair, smoothness remains a challenge. The thing is that the hairs grow in, leaving unpleasant reddish tubercles on the skin. They may not go away for a long time and be quite noticeable.
The problem of ingrown hairs on their legs does not allow some to relax and undress even in the most intense heat. Why is this happening and is there a solution?
Why did the hair grow on my legs?
The reason leading to improper hair growth is a violation of the rules for their removal. It doesn't matter what you choose - shaving, sugaring or electrolysis. If the procedure was not done the way it should be, those same familiar bumps will soon appear on the skin. An ingrown hair cannot break out from under the skin, and therefore grows inward, which can lead to inflammation and even suppuration of the follicles. It could also be a matter of the skin. Sometimes the fact that the hair on the legs has grown in is to blame for nature, which endowed the girl with not too thin skin. Ingrown can manifest itself from childhood without any connection with epilation, if due to predisposition. Of course, the prevention and treatment of ingrown hairs on the legs is possible in this case.
However, wax or epilator is more often to blame.
What should I do if I have ingrown hair on my legs?
Affected areas must be treated, otherwise inflammation can damage the surface of the skin and leave dark spots behind. It is advisable to pull out the hairs from under the skin with a sterilized needle or tweezers, after steaming the skin in the shower or using a compress. Pierce the swollen follicle with a needle and pull out the tip of the hair with tweezers. Wipe the treated area with an antiseptic to avoid infections getting into the wound. Please note that this method is not suitable for everyone. If you have ingrown hairs on your legs, they should be located close to the surface of the skin. Deep ingrowths should be entrusted to a specialist. Under no circumstances should they be squeezed out. If the problem bothers you after each epilation, just try changing the selected method to another one.
