Suggest Remedy For Swollen Ingrown Pubic Hair Below The Shaft

I have an ingrown pubic hair just below the shaft and it is swollen and infected. It also releases puss when it gets really swollen. I just started to use a hot compress with epsom salt and started applying fusidic acid cream 2%. Is there anything else I should or not be doing? This has been going on for a couple of days.
