Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain an ingrown hair is the one that in place of rising away from skin grown back towards the skin and can cause inflammation and at times can look like a pimple in case if the hair follicle gets clogged with dust and gets infected..

In your case also it seems that there is infection in the area of ingrown hair..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to to apply a combination of steroid ointment along with antibiotic ointment over it..
You can also apply retinoid containing ointment to clear off the dust and clogged pores..
You can also do cool compresses over it..
In case if still there is no relief a small incision can be given to release the hair and gradually the healing will proceed..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
