Exfoliating & ingrown hairs


Question Posted Saturday March 24 2007, 10:27 pm

I have many ingrown hairs on my legs, due to years of shaving/waxing. I'm planning on getting lazer hair removal..but in the meantime, I was wondering if using an coarse exfoliating cloth can help out? How effective is it at treating ingrown hairs?

I don't know about coarse exfoliating cloths but here is a list of other remedies compliments of wikipedia:

Manually removing ingrown hairs with special tweezers

Shaving in a different direction

Allowing the hair to grow in order to cause the hair to come out straighter

Using special razors that leave the hair longer
Exfoliating with facial scrubs, sponges, towels, or creams containing acids

Treatment with Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs promotes resolution of stubborn cases

Prophylaxis with twice daily topical application of diluted Glycolic acid
