Shaving is one of the biggest causes of ingrown hairs. Breaking the shaft off below the skin, as sometimes happens with shaving, can cause the shaft to grow sideways, into the skin. Waxing is another common cause. Some growth does not come out by the root, but breaks off, giving the same undesired result.

There are many different Illinois: treatments for ingrown hair removal. Warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers can help some patients. Professional electrolysis has been used as a treatment for this complaint since the 1800s. In fact, its first medical use was in the treatment of ingrown eyelashes. This process can still be used for this purpose and can be a good preventative measure for follicles that repeatedly produce ingrown shafts. Electrolysis can be very painful, though. If the patient has a low pain threshold, another method may be preferable.

Of course, the best course of action is to avoid getting them in the first place. If shaving is the cause, shaving in the direction of growth can help prevent recurrences. If waxing is the cause, then exfoliating prior to treatment can help. Having growth permanently removed will also prevent ingrown hairs. Professional laser treatments can permanently damage follicles, which will remove the possibility of incorrect regrowth.
