Bump/Ingrown Hair Help

[TheDouglasJBarber]

One of the guys at work has a bump that we think is an ingrown hair. I don't know if it was caused by my shaving him or by his own shaving, but, once you get a bump, how do you get rid of them?

Thank you,

Elizabeth

If you have shaved him before it might be yours, otherwise it would be his.

Most of the time you simply have to let them grow out but there are some treatments put out by some of the companies. Art of Shaving comes to mind. They will cease to be an issue with proper prep and shaving technique.. like a DE or a straight.

I treat the bump like any other blemish or infection. Bringing the swelling down will allow the hair to grow back out properly.

Myself, I treat a severe ingrown hair like acne. I try to dry it out using an alcohol based aftershave (yup... it burns). In my particular case, the drying out helps to free the hair. For the more severe cases, I end up fighting them for about a week (assuming I can fight the desire to over mess with it)

[TheDouglasJBarber]

Thank-you. So, maybe until I can get the good stuff, some ZapZit will work?

[sparky5693]

If his skin behaves the same as mine it probably would, but I think an alcohol based aftershave would work too.

Thank goodness. The Moss thing is killing me, lol!

I think I might have to repo all his TSD soaps, though. To persuade him. :rolleyes:

BOBBY!!!!!!!! She's not WORTH it man! Don't DO it!!! :eek:

[TheDouglasJBarber]

BOBBY!!!!!!!! She's not WORTH it man! Don't DO it!!! :eek:

WHO is not "worth it," Michael? BTW, my firstborn son is named Michael.

[Mottern Man]

Warm Compress for a day or so. If it gets worse you could Lance it or take it to a dermatologist.

[Queen of Blades]

My father and brother are named Michael, too. Small world, huh? :rofl

Michael's post doesn't make much sense to me. Perhaps, he should explain further.

[TheDouglasJBarber]

I couldn't figure it out.

[Michael]

JoAnna, who's soaps are you going to repo?

[TheDouglasJBarber]

Here is how I would respond if my Michael said a woman wasn't "worth it."

Child, you are HERE because of a woman. Now show some RESPECT!

just kidding (sort of)

[Michael]

:p@Michael

I am interested in JoAnna's patchouli shave cream. Does she have patchouli soap as well?

[Michael]

Of course. Awesome...like all the rest.

[TheDouglasJBarber]

Of course. Awesome...like all the rest.

I will definately have to order some then.

[Queen of Blades]

JoAnna, who's soaps are you going to repo?

Big boss man's (Bobby).

:rofl I like you more and more each day, Elizabeth! :rofl

:p@Michael

Yep, got soaps and creams in 53 flavors. Can you say Baskin-Robbins?

[TheDouglasJBarber]

Okay--so I am currently using injecter blades. Do we have to make it so PERSONAL by calling me THE INJECTERATOR?! :rofl

Hey--at least I have moved past the Royal brand hair shaper blades in my HessEzy handle, lol!

[Michael]

I will definitely have to order some then.

I win the prize for the largest stash...bottom shelf - most are JoAnna's. :D

[TheDouglasJBarber]

I was going to say what a nice cabinet you have--stocked full--too!

[TheDouglasJBarber]

I want some. Just give me a chance to get another paycheck (week from Friday). I would like to try sandalwood, too.

Where do I place my order--Shave Den Store?

Bingo.. you place your order and pay through PayPal.

[Michael]

Thank you. And yes, you order TSD soaps (and creams, etc.) thru the TSD store. Go ahead, work the poor dear's fingers to the bone!

Is there an echo in here, or what? :rofl

[Sejanus]

Not my fault everyone ignores the fact I answer things.. :rolleyes:

[Michael]

Does look kind of odd when three people are saying the same thing at the same time, but no one knows it until all three post. We weren't ignoring you, Ken.

[Sejanus]

We were ignoring you, Ken... because we hate you.

SEE!? I was right! :D

[Michael]

Yup.

[sparky5693]

Elizabeth, you are now president of the lather club.

In your honor, the normal "progressive title" has been changed to "vice president of the lather club" :cool:

[Sejanus]

Yup.

[Queen of Blades]

Speak for yourself. :rolleyes:

[Sejanus]

I rest my case.

:rofl Very thoughtful.

See, Liz, threaten to take away their TSD soaps and they'll do as their told. :rofl

[Queen of Blades]

I rest my case.

Why? Was it tired?

wokka wokka wokka

Aww... flowers from the Princess. Ain't that nice?!

You're in deep, bud. They say that if you're stuck in a hole, the first thing you should do is STOP DIGGING!

This would be a bad time to say I did a home facial resurfacing treatment tonight.. wouldn't it?

[Michael]

Yes dear

[Sejanus]

Yes dear

Then I won't say it.

[Mottern Man]

Warm Compress for a day or so. If it gets worse you could Lance it or take it to a dermatologist.

Thanks for the the advice doc. :rolleyes:

[Queen of Blades]

We didn't want Ken feeling lonely over in his corner. :)

First, I would like to thank all of you who helped me with the bump issue. I will see how my patient is doing today when I go in at noon.

Second, to Jo and the rest who made it possible, Thank you for giving me back my title. You love me; you REALLY love me! (I always wanted to say that).

Big Hugs,

Elizabeth :D

But, Elizabeth, we hardly know you! ;)

Oh, and if the bump is still a problem, try one of these...

[TheDouglasJBarber]

:eek: WHAT IS IT!!!!!?????????????????????

[Michael]

:eek: WHAT IS IT!!!!!?????????????????????

The large one is a razor (primarily used for underarms), the small one is an ingrown hair remover of course! :D

Actually, they're woodworking tools used for shaping the seats of Windsor chairs (and other things I'm sure).

My hair is conducive to ingrown hairs and my skin is very sensitive to razor irritation. As a result, I'm prone to ghastly razor bumps. A long time spent tinkering with products, techniques, and routines has finally made my skin manageable. It's much better to avoid them altogether than to repair them after the fact.

Warm Compress for a day or so.

A hot towel will do wonders. If you have clients who regularly suffer with ingrown hairs, you could try Barc Bump Down. It does sting and nothing is a quick fix. However, it is indispensable for my volatile skin.
