Gently exfoliate your skin in order to get rid of an ingrown hair. Exfoliating your skin helps to get rid of ingrown hairs and eliminates a layer of dead skin cells. Wash your affected areas gently with a washcloth, exfoliating brush, exfoliating gel, or scrub while using warm, not hot, water.
A sterilized needle, pin, or pair of tweezers can be used to carefully pull out an ingrown hair that has looped or curled back into your skin.

Lift the hair loop slowly until the end that is stuck to your skin releases.
