Ingrown hair is a condition where hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. The condition is most prevalent among people who have coarse or curly hair. It may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle (folliculitis) or "razor bumps" (pseudofolliculitis barbae), which vary in size.
While the average pimple should be left alone, ingrown hairs require immediate attention. If they go untreated, the irritating bumps can become painful and even dangerous.
