ingrown hair - for girls
this is going to sound crazy, but i tried to use tweezers to pluck a few hairs on my breast. it looks like one of them became an ingrown hair...except it's almost like you can see a long piece of hair, under my skin. it almost looks like someone drew a pencil mark (a line on me). it's raised a little one one end. what is this & HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?! 17/f

You're right, it's an ingrown hair, and it's pretty easy to remove.
Take a sterile needle and insert it just under the skin (shouldn't hurt much or at all). Then just pop the hair out. Once the hair is our from under the skin it will continue to grow normally. Then you can take care of it however you like
To sterilize a needle boil water and place the needle in the boiling water for 2-5 minutes. Before handling the needle, wash your hands in soap and very warm water up past your wrists.

When I had that problem, my doctor said that tweezing is the worse thing you can do because if your irritate the skin on your breast too much, where the ingrown hair is, that area can get infected. So, lay off the tweezers, sister, She told me that baby oil and cocoa butter may work, and I haven't had a p problem since. And make sure you shower every day, which I'm sure you do.
