Suggest Treatment For Ingrown Hair At The Bottom Of The Penis
Hello, I have an ingrown hair toward the bottom of my penis, I can't move the hair to the follicle to pull it out, It will not seem to grow out or to an area where I can use utensils to pull it. Since, it's been about 3 weeks since I noticed the bump, I've had one before in the same spot or close to it, but was able to pull out the hair. What Can I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Clean the area, apply worm compression daily. Use hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation.
Inspect the area daily if you observe the end of ingrown hair you can remove it gently.
If the hair is so deep that it's created a cyst, see a dermatologist. If it's a severe case, the doctor can surgically remove the cyst.
Take care.
