#1 – Ingrown Hairs

According to Joel Schlessinger, who is a board-certified dermatologist and also a RealSelf advisor, the bumps that appear after shaving on the bikini-line appear as a result of the trapped hair shaft under the skin.

Normally, they are itchy and inflamed and it is definitely not a good idea to squeeze them with your fingers or try to pop them out. By doing so, you will only cause that area to become irritated and inflamed and even worse you will end up with red marks that will last for months.

Instead, the best thing to do is to apply hydrocortisone on the affected area. This will help you reduce the redness, the itchiness, and irritation. Also, make sure before you apply hydrocortisone to clean the area with an exfoliating cleanser.

#2 – Cold Sores

Cold sores are definitely a huge No! So, don’t you ever think about popping them out no matter how tempting they look! By plucking them you will very simply cause the appearance of another cold sore. And this is because once you pop it out, a blister-like fluid is released and spreads to other areas, explained Schlessinger.
