the old in growing hair that infects the surrounding area you will need to go to the doctors for this one as it will take ages to clear up if left untreated

Reply:I agree with weizy, it sounds like ingrowing hairs. This can be caused by all sorts of things and is common.





To sort it out, buy a body scrubber, one of those things that looks like a lot of fruit nets joined together and a liquid body scrub/exfoliant.





At least three times a week, have a hot bath or shower. stay in the heat for at least 10 minutes. Put the exfoliant on to the body scrubber, and scrub your skin hard. This removes the dead layer of skin that is blocking the pores and allows the hair to grow naturally.





If they are infected as some other respondees suggest, you will have a red, hot area around the spot. If this area is greater than 6mm, you probably need to see the doctor for some anti-biotics.





All the best
