Wax and exfoliate with a buff puff. It's a bit embarassing but worth it in the long run. By the way, go to a salon ~ I know, I don't like it either, but they are professionals and do it every day. It's also way better than ingrown hair ~ ouch.aurora said:Does anyone have any remedies for sore ingrown hair-type red sores on the private parts? How to get rid of this ? Wrong saddle?

Stop shaving. I had to due to a horrid case of an infected hair follicle/s, it is just not worth what I went through until I figured out the shaving was the cuprit.aurora said:Does anyone have any remedies for sore ingrown hair-type red sores on the private parts?

i agree if you can wax it, or get it done by a professional I find I have much less trouble. All you need do then is just lufor (rough sponge) to exfoliate, I know it's a "delicate" area but its worth 5 seconds of being uncomfortable than picking out in-grown’s. Also try to keep the area clean and well moisturized this works for me but my "equipment" is slightly different to yours aurora!?bikekaren said:Stop shaving.

Chammy cream works - if you keep the area lubed, there's less chance of ingrown hairs. Some say to wax it all off, some say this makes it worse. I think it varies from person to person! Well fitting shorts helps too - if they're too loose, they bunch up, cause friction and ingrown hairs may result. Good luck!aurora said:Does anyone have any remedies for sore ingrown hair-type red sores on the private parts? How to get rid of this ? Wrong saddle?

What kind of special shaver? Shaving has to be way less expensive than waxing. Far less embarrasing than showing your all to a beautician also. Tell us.ninc said:I also had problems, with armpits to. Stoped shavinh with a razor. bought a special shaver - problems gone.
I can't wax anywhere, the results are unpleasant. Ditto shaving if I don't do it right ( I'm a frail violet). My irritation/ingrown-hair-free shave technique:chickonwheels said:Some say to wax it all off, some say this makes it worse. I think it varies from person to person!
risiblequest said:I can't wax anywhere, the results are unpleasant. Ditto shaving if I don't do it right ( I'm a frail violet). My irritation/ingrown-hair-free shave technique:
1) very sharp razor (I use a 'man's' non-disposable safety razor, and replace the double-sided blade each time I shave).
2) low irritant shave soap (I use a 'non-soap' dermatological soap)
3) shave once over area, in direction of hair growth.
This shave is not quite as smooth as shaving against hair growth, but is smooth/clean to the eye. Those times when I want 'extra smooth' I'll do an additional once over against direction of hair growth.
I also use a non-greasy moisturiser afterwards, that has colloidal oatmeal in it (natural anti-inflamatory). For me this is important. No moisturiser leaves my skin dry & prone to infection/ingrown hairs. Greasy moisturiser blocks folicles (leading to infection). I'm in Australia, the products I use are 'Dermaveen'. I think an equivalent in the USA is Aveeno.
