September 12, 2025

What Causes Ingrown Hairs?

Ingrown hairs happen when hair grows back into the skin instead of outward. This can create bumps, redness, and even infection. When combined with acne breakouts, irritation can get worse.

Common Triggers

  • Frequent shaving or waxing

  • Clogged pores and dead skin buildup

  • Curly or coarse hair types
