Upon noticing an ingrown hair or bump, the first thing to do is clean and dry the area. Next, apply an antiseptic cream to kill bacteria that may be causing inflammation. Finally, a bandage can help keep pressure off the skin and encourage healing.
Wash the bandage daily and reapply it if needed until the area has healed completely. It can be left longer if an antibiotic cream or other topical treatment for infection prevention are used.
