    What exactly are they? Why do they form? How do they form? Do they have any side effects? (I know you could die). Are they indicative of something else? Do we have a genetic pre-disposition to it?

    Um, as far as I know, ingrown hairs are the hairs that don't stick out of your skin but kind-of stay in it. Mine are still visible and I can tweeze them out because they're not in too deep and my skin is flaky. They can happen if you tweeze/shave incorrectly. You can prevent this by tweezing/shaving in the direction of hair growth. But it's rare. I mean, it wouldn't be happening daily, and not with all hair on your body, but just a couple, once in a... long while.

    Die from it?! WHAT?!

    Try exfoliating, it works for us women. No tweezers involved and no death risk.

    I get ingrown hairs something fierce. For me the only solution was to stop shaving. I've worn a beard for about forty years. I shave the spots where it doesn't grow well about once a week, way under my chin, etc., and I still get an ingrown hair there fairly often.

    So if ingrown hairs bother you, stop shaving. There's no excuse for shaving anyway. A lot of women have told me they'd rather snuggle up to a fuzzy beard than a face full of prickly stubble. It's a shame they don't make the connection that the prickly stubble they have from shaving their, er...., well, you know, is just as uncomfortable for us.

    Men who criticize women in other countries for not shaving should be sent to Antarctica!

    You have what's referred to as PFB (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae)

    link

    Get a bottle of aspirin, 50 325 or 350 mg tablets, get half a bottle of rubbing alcohol (90%) and then drop the aspirin in, it will dilute and create a solution, add just a drop or two of water (not much) and you get the same solution as tendskin, a razor bump solution that's very efficacious, drop about forty of them in the alcohol, make it thirty, and then up the content day by day, dropping two every day, that should do the trick, shave at night and leave it on overnight, you'll see results like THAT!
