I have an ingrown hair to the left of my dick and down a little ways. It really hurts and I was wondering what you do exactly to get rid of it. Do you pop it? or do you take tweezers and try to pluck the hair out. Because of this ingrown hair I decided never to shave again only if a girl asks me to.

Ingrown hair

I would recommend applying a warm damp cloth to the area for about ten minutes to soften the skin around the ingrown hair then use a pair of tweezers to remove the hair, make sure the tweezers are sterilized to avoid infection (the easiest way to sterilize them would be to simply clean the tweezers with rubbing alcohol)
Hope that helps

Rub with a wet pumice stone - this should free the hair. If it doesn't you may need a sterilised needle. Then put a bit of antiseptic cream on it.

I don't have access to a pumice stone or any of that cream. So I was just thinking maybe to shave that small area to try to find the hair because I can't exactly pinpoint it. Then once I find it, apply the warm cloth and pluck it out. Wish me luck! haha

It may be a good idea to go out and buy some antiseptic cream like Ineligible suggested, you don't want the area to get infected after you remove the hairGood luck!

I shaved the area and I found the lump which kinda looks and feels like a zit. But I can't see the hair.
Will the hair be visible?
-
Not necessarily - it depends how deep under the skin it is. Of course it might just be a zit, rather than an ingrown hair.
-
When I get them, I just yank the hair or hairs out. If the hair is below the skin, you might have to take a pin to it then the tweezers. It might subside on it's own too. To soften the skin, I would suggest taking a hot bath and soak and relax for a while.Good luck. I have been there and feel your pain.

This is something I have also struggled with. I would usually dig them out with a needle, but you need to pinpoint the hair first or else you might just end up pricking yourself for no reason.
