I have constant problems with inflamed hair ingrown and called folliculitus. What can I do to prevent further damage to the hair follicles and infection?
Keep the area clean and minimize friction from clothing. Best is to avoid shaving that area if possible. If you cannot avoid shaving, you should use electrical shaver or new and clean razor blade. Sweating promotes infection, so avoid it.
Maybe you will also need some antifungal medications to control the infection.
