Possible ingroing hairs

[lese]

hi,
i've noticed some discomfort whilst shaving recently and tonight i have hairs that it looked like i had missed with the razor , but they will not come free.

i used my tweezers to try and free them to pluck them out and both ends of the hair are under the skin.

is there anything i must do ?

I'm not sure what you can do - just keep an eye on them.

Quite right - I wasn't thinking there was I.

There is a nasty problem called pilonidal sinus which some Dr's think can be caused by in growing hairs at the bottom of the spine. This then leads to a horrible infection, often requiring surgery to drain the abscess.

I know lots about this, because I've been in hospital 3 times with it.
