Ingrown hair appears as a small bump on the skin that occurs after the hair has been shaved, waxed, or trimmed. When the new hair starts to grow from the hair follicle, it may curve back into the skin, creating a small bump or nodule. Ingrown hair is very common and often occurs frequently in people who shave or wax. It is more common among black people with curly hair. Ingrown hair can be avoided by not shaving or reducing the frequency. If that is difficult, other techniques to remove body hair can be used to prevent ingrown hair.
