    Ingrown hairs
    I cannot seem to get rid of ingrown hairs in spots that I shave, and even ones that I don't...

    I have them all over. What's the deal? How do I get rid of them?

    On spots that you shave, maybe it's the direction in which you shave that's the problem. They can be quite nasty, almost like acne, red and swollen, not a pretty sight.

    I know that... I don't shave against hair growth. My momma taught me right :P

    But what about the spots that I don't shave getting them?

    BTW, I bought some bikini zone for well, the bikini zone, and also for my underarms because I tend to get razor burn there as well. Do you think this will help the ingrown hairs?

    If it helps the other spot that I get ingrown hairs is on my upper arms. Is this normal?

    I have no idea if it's normal- I get them on my legs CONSTANTLY- which is why I just gave up on shaving them and never wear anything other than long pants. Because even if I shave, I still have ingrown hairs and won't wear shorts because of them- so why go through the trouble of shaving?

    Ugh... I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but I feel your pain.

    Well, thanks for your input anyway. I do wear shorts and skirts so NOT shaving isn't an option for me.
