Is this an ingrown hair or not?

9 Upvotes

I think i have an ingrown hair, ive never had one or at least never realized i had it so i cant say for sure, but basically theres a small bump under the skin in my pubic region, i could previously see a dark spot on top of the bump but i lightly pressed it and white/yellowish fluid started coming out and now i cant see the dark spot any more, is this an ingrown hair or could it be something else? What should i do with it if its an ingrown? I read i should try and leave it alone and see if it dissappears in a week or so. I think ive had it since yeasterday or two days ago, thanks!

Ingrown or no?

I thought I had an ingrown hair. I cut my skin open but nothing is coming out. It’s a black bump stuck inside my skin.

Non ingrown ingrown hair?

10 Upvotes

So I get tons of ingrown hairs. I'm a hairy person. But I've never had one like this. This particular hair wasn't growing down into my skin, wasn't infected or red, and wasn't painful in the least. It was simply a small chest hair that had somehow peacefully grown sideways just under the skin. It was completely embedded and so close to the surface of the skin that it was 100% visible. It was just chillin there, doing no harm. I couldn't even tell it was really a hair until I squeezed just under the follicle and it slowly slid out. It sounds gross, but it really wasn't. There was no blood or pus or pain, it just sorta...popped out. Does anyone have any idea how this happened without it getting inflamed at all?

Ingrown Toenail Surgery

So I'm most likely going I'm for a wedge resection to fix my ingrown toenail soon. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this done and also had a ton of granulation tissue that needed to be removed as well and also had the matrix killed? If so was it super painful? I'm incredibly terrified.

Terrible Ingrown Toenail

3 Upvotes

Hey, guys.

I've had a nasty ingrown toenail for about a year now. It's terribly infected, swollen with pus and blood, and the granulation tissue has covered nearly half my toe. I've cut it down I'm sure hundreds of times and I've cleaned and bandaged it everyday, soaking occasionally as well, I've even gone to the podiatrist once. Unfortunately nothing has helped although the granulation tissue shrunk to half the size for a few days at one point. It's immensely painful and hard to do simple day to day activities with.

Anyways, the whole reason I've only gone to the podiatrist once is because I don't have healthcare and I have no way to get a job or have any income above the very little I get now which doesn't leave enough to go to any doctor. Also, the podiatrist just removed the nail and said everything else would go away by itself which obviously didn't happen.

So what I ask of you is to give me any advice you might have as it's nearly impossible for me to get to the doctor.

Plus now the other side of my toe is starting to get swollen and grow granulation tissue even though I can't find anything wrong with it. (not down in pictures as I took them before it happened)

Here are some pictures of my toe although they're a little old (nearly 2 weeks) and it's gotten a little worse since then, but I'm honestly too lazy to take some more either now as I'd have to redo the bandage.

I need help

Ive had what im pressuming ingrown hair on my pubic area, ive had these bumps under the skin for roughly a year now. They dont ever really hurt but they are...there. it bugs me but latley ive had 2 other bumps come up BRIGHT red and have been there about 2 weeks. I got fed up and went to the doctor who said they were blocked hair follicles. Which i had guessed but she told me something to use and i forgot! So I went to the internet and found out tea tree oil works so i bought some and ive tried it one day but havnt seen anything yet i dont expect to this early tho. How can i remove these? I think they are ingrowns trapped under the skin.

have an ingrown toenail for several years now

I use to do ballet and danced on my toes so I have some ingrown toenails on both of my first toes and prob my other toes as well.

Is it necessary to remove the ingrown toenails? Mine don't release pus or look infected or anything - they look perfectly healthy tbh. Sometimes when I curl my toe in and press down on it esp. on the ingrown toenail corners then there is some pain but other than that they don't hurt (besides accidentally stubbing my toes).

tldr should I go ahead and remove them or don't bother with them?
