Ingrown hair in pubic area, medically known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, is a common skin condition resulting from hairs curving back into the skin after being shaved or plucked. This occurs frequently in areas with coarse, curly hair, such as the pubic region.
Ingrown hair in pubic area can cause discomfort, irritation, and inflammation. Treatment options include topical creams or gels, antibiotics, and laser hair removal. Historically, the condition was first described in the early 19th century and has since been recognized as a significant concern in dermatology.
