Q&A for How to Avoid Bumps When Plucking Hair

Ingrown hair is a small hair that has skin grown over it. It can look like a small bump with a little, scab-like dot on it.

Treat it like you would any other cut. Wash it with warm, soapy water and air dry. Then apply antibacterial cream and cover it with a bandage.

Put some ice or a soothing aloe gel on the area to reduce discomfort.

Popping anything on your face in general isn't good, because the bacteria from your hands can infect it. Try not to touch the bumps and steer clear of heavily scented stuff that can irritate your skin. If you are really concerned, try to go see a dermatologist.

Just continually pluck over a period of time, and eventually the hairs will thin out and sometimes even permanently disappear.
