Hi Hun! Ok, disinfect it w/hydrogen peroxide->neosporin->ice pack->elavate it w/a pillow or sumthin and let it heal on its own.Take advil or motrin for any pain. Hope this makes you feel better!!

Prid.

It's this disturbing looking brown goo in a small round orange container.

Prid Salve - I believe it's called. Is designed to suck the puss out of the infected area.

Gross, right? It works though.

Just clean the area, put some on the ingrown hair, put a band aid on it - and it should help some.

Try putting a hot wash cloth on it. Hot as you can stand a few times a day. It may help draw the pus to the top. Once most of it is gone, it will start to feel better. :)
