When is an ingrown hair ready to pop?

Question

Noticed some discomfort around my area today and as I guessed I have a pretty bad ingrown hair. Because it's quite new should I see if it calms down by itself after a day or two or treat it? If so any suggestions? Like should I exfoliate or just pop it or what? Thanks!

Answer

You can put a hot compress there. If it's ready to open up, it will. I wouldn't put too much pressure on it because just like a pimple, it can scar.

Answer

As gross as it is, I usually take a hot shower and pop it. That way you can clean at the same time.
