There are several ways to treat ingrown hairs at home, including: Stop shaving and allow the hair to grow. Use an electric shaver. Hold it just above the surface of your skin. Use depilatory products to remove hair without shaving. Depilatory products dissolve the protein structures of your hair. Apply warm compresses to your affected skin for 10 to 15 minutes to open your pores and make it easier for ingrown hairs to release. If your symptoms don’t improve, your healthcare provider may need to prescribe medications that decrease inflammation and improve infections. In rare cases, your healthcare provider may use a sterile surgical knife with a thin blade (scalpel) to make a small cut in your affected areas. They’ll squeeze out any pus and use sterile tweezers to remove the ingrown hair. To prevent scarring or infection, don’t pick at, scratch or pop your ingrown hairs.
