How Do You Get Rid Of Bumps On The Penis Caused By Ingrown Hairs?
Bumps on the penis caused by ingrown hairs can be painful and may get infected in some cases. Ingrown hairs are often caused by shaving, plucking or other methods of hair removal. Hair that has been removed may grow back in sideways or down at an angle under the skin, causing the ingrown hair. There are several methods of removing pubic hair that can prevent the incidence of ingrown hairs. However, if you do already have ingrown hairs, you may be able to soothe and get rid of them without getting an infected hair follicle. Apply a mild hydrocortisone cream to the area with bumps several times a day. Rub aloe vera gel on your bumps to soothe, soften and lessen any pain.
