Have they become infected if they are sore? Try something like Savlon which can clear an infection and then work towards avoiding them in future. If they normal aftercare advice isn't working for you then you need to look at using a product to apply such as PFB or Ingrow Go.

Hi,

I always use a little tea tree oil on any of my ingrown hairs it helps to bring them up to the surface which means i can remove them easily.

Over-exfoliating can make ingrowing hairs worse. I'd only do light exfoliation a couple of times a week

I use aloe vera gel to apply after hair removal to help stop ingrown hairs, redness & itching. Seems to work well.
Though if I do get an ingrown hair I'm going to try the tea tree oil

Lay in a hot bath and squeeze it out, then remove with tweezers. Apply Savlon. Better out than in. xx
