How Can An Infected Ingrown Hair Be Treated?

4-5 days back i got a painful pimple on the left areola.. yesterday it got popped and there was pus with alot of blood which freaked me out.. after that the pimple bump reduced a little.. but today the top dried skin got removed and there was pus again.. i even noticed one ingrown hair.. after the pus came out there was a small hole type on the pimple.. i am very worried about this.

hi there.
1. your concern may be furuncle.
2. its a bacterial infection of the hair follicle.
3. start using Tbact ointment twice daily on the affected area.
4. avoid dehydration.
5. once pus settles down, you can plan for diode laser sessions for ingrown hair.this will help you permanently.
your concern is termed as pilli incarniti.
