Consult experienced healthcare providers on Klarity to receive personalized diagnosis and treatment plans for ingrown hairs via telehealth, often within 24 hours, ensuring safe, effective, and convenient care.
Ingrown hairs occur when hair grows back into the skin, leading to bumps, redness, and sometimes infection. They are common after shaving, waxing, or plucking, especially in areas with curly hair or tight clothing. Proper skincare can help prevent and treat ingrown hairs effectively.
Symptoms include small bumps, redness, tenderness, and sometimes pus-filled lesions. Severe cases may cause pain or hyperpigmentation. Recognizing early signs allows for prompt treatment, reducing the risk of infection or scarring.
Creams containing exfoliating agents, antibiotics, or corticosteroids can reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and promote skin healing. A healthcare provider can recommend the best topical treatment tailored to your condition.
In persistent cases, doctors may perform procedures such as gentle incision and drainage or removal of embedded hairs. These can be done safely via telehealth guidance or in-person if necessary.
Long-term solution to prevent ingrown hairs by reducing hair growth. Laser treatments are performed by licensed professionals and are available through select telehealth providers, including Klarity.
