How To Treat Painful Ingrown Hair In The Vaginal Area?

I ve been suffering from little hairs stuck under my clitoral hood. It can be extremely painful at times. It feels like I m sitting on a needle. I dont know if the hairs are growing under my clitoral hood or if they are loose hairs getting stuck. Sometimes I am able to pluck them out and other times it s lodged too far under my clitoral hood to pull out. Any idea of where this is coming from??

Normally hair follicle present around the vaginal opening.
Sometime wax and improper hygiene increased the risk of hair follicle infection/ingrown hair.
