Ingrown Hair On Shaft..........DEFEATED!

OK, here goes. I shaved my scrotum and shaft the other day, and I thought that everything was as fine as my silky smooth shaft. I was soon corrected when last night I found a small red bump near the base of my shaft. I knew immediately that it was the beginning of an ingrown; determined not to let this one get out of hand, I wrestled with the skin for about 10 minutes, finally finding a way to put pressure on it so that the hair would just barely poke out of the skin. I grabbed my tweezers and pulled the hair swiftly and voila, the ingrown hair was removed, and I no longer had to worry about any PE downtime.

Hey IM,

Try this trick right after you shave. Rub in some Neosporin. Thank groa if it works for you.

Neosporin, eh? I’ll have to try that. Thing is, I don’t have any Neosporin on hand.

It is probably available at any pharmacy/drug store: Neosporin ointment

Thanks WestLA, I knew that though, I was just saying I had to go get some :)

I swear my grandmother thinks that Neosporin can cure anything: cuts, cancer, tuna casserole, you name it. It’s definitely a must have in the ‘ol medicine cabinet. :up:

I love neosporin but I didn’t know it helped with ingrown hairs.

It won’t do a lot to help with a hair that is already ingrown, but works great for preventing them in the first place.
