INGROW GO: NATURAL AND SAFE INGROWN HAIR REMOVER

Ingrown hairs are problematic skin conditions that are mostly associated with shaving. Ingrown Hair occurs when hair curls back into itself and starts growing inside the hair follicle. As the hair continues to grow, it turns into a curled up ball of hair that forms a bump or protrusion on the skin that looks very much like a cyst. As the hair grows longer, the cyst grows larger and this can cause skin irritations, itching and can be really painful especially when it becomes infected. An infected ingrown hair is called pseudofolliculitis barbae. Early signs of an infected ingrown hair are red painful bumps on the skin, advanced infection occurs when the ingrown hairs gets filled with pus. At this stage a visit to the doctor is needed to individually drain the pus from each follicle and a prescription of antibiotics will be given to assist healing and prevent re-infection. Do not attempt to drain the pus yourself.

It is important to treat ingrown hairs before they get infected, as this will avert you from seeing your doctor and also prevent ugly scars. First thing to do is to remove the plug that’s obstructing the hair from growing out. The plug consist mostly of sebum and dead skin tissues, which best removed by an exfoliating solution. Salicylic acid based exfoliating creams and lotions are fine but they may be too harsh and drying to the skin, sometimes causing further redness and irritation.

Ingrow Go by Skin Doctors is a wonderful ingrown hair remover because it uses glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin. Glycolic acid is a group of acids known as alpha-hydroxy-acid (AHA). It found naturally in sugarcane and grapes. Glycolic acid works very well in removing dead skin cells and melt away sebum which are found to obstruct skin pores.
