What are ingrown pubic hairs?
Ingrown pubic hairs are what happens when a hair grows back into the skin – instead of growing outwards as usual. You will usually be able to spot them by the red and often itchy bumps they create.1
They can occur all over the body but tend to be common in the pubic area and other ‘hairier regions’ like beards, armpits, legs as the hairs here tend to be more coarse or curly. These areas also tend to be places we ‘groom’ by shaving, waxing, plucking, etc. all of which can contribute to those annoying ingrown public hair bumps.
