An ingrown pubic hair that has been there for 3 months can be uncomfortable, especially when it's touched or when water hits it. It happens when a hair grows back into the skin instead of out, which can cause pain or swelling.

Since it’s been there for a while, it’s a good idea to see a doctor. They can help with treatments like warm compresses, creams, or even removing the hair if needed. If it's infected, you might need antibiotics.

sometimes we have to punch those out with a little instrument. We numb it first though. Thanks kw
