The best way to treat ingrown beard hair is to let it grow naturally, avoiding using a razor or razor. However, if it takes a long time to improve, you can try a light exfoliation on your face, rubbing a spoon of baking soda in a little liquid soap, for example.
Even so, when ingrown hairs do not improve or evolve to a more serious situation, a dermatologist should be consulted as it may be necessary to perform a laser treatment to unravel the hair and produce an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect, which prevents the beard back to ingrown when it grows.
How to prevent a beard from getting stuck
In order to prevent beard hair from getting back, some important and simple precautions include:
- Wash your beard with warm, soapy water before shaving;
- Do not stretch the skin during scraping;
- Use a new and very sharp blade;
- Shaving in the direction of beard growth;
- Make short movements;
- Avoid passing the slide twice in the same place;
- Use the hair clipper to 'shave' the face, leaving the hair very short.
In cases where the beard often gets stuck, it may be necessary to consult a dermatologist to start treatment with exfoliating creams or corticosteroid and antibiotic drugs to fight infection and inflammation caused by hair growth.
