I don’t have any of those stories, as I don’t remove the hair down there…however, I can tell you all about the ingrown hairs I’ve removed from my husband’s body, if you like. I have to inspect him on a regular basis, or he’ll get a lot of little red bumps all over his body from the ingrown hairs.
OK, I’ll chime in. I shave some of Cooter, and trim the rest. To prevent ingrown hairs, I did use TendSkin for awhile. But that stuff’s pricey. At WalMart I found Bump Patrol which is in the men’s shaving section. I used that and it worked very very well. But then I heard about this stuff at Sally’s Beauty Supply that was a TendSkin knockoff: No Bump Rx. It works OK. But the stuff I got at WalMart works a bit better, smells a bit better, and doesn’t sting like a sonofabitch like TendSkin and its clone. (it stings a little, but not as much).
If guys get ingrown hairs on their jaws or necks, I say buy one of those products and dab it on with a q-tip on your trouble spots.
But then you would avoid the sheer pleasure of cultivating long mutant hairs and lava-like pus.
Whatever floats your boat.
Sigh… Here goes:
Back in the days when I was regularly shaving my hooha, I would get this one pore on my pubic mound that would throw a hissy fit. I wouldn’t notice it until weeks later when it became quite swollen and sore. It was kinda strange-- It would go from feeling normal to exquisitely painful in a matter of a day. So, I would have my best friend go down (heh, heh) to purge this evil from my skin. More often than not, there would be a disgusting burst of thick, reddish pus accompanied by instant relief. Alcohol was applied liberally as was a layer of neosporin.
But one particular occasion stands out in my mind, when I had let the thing go for a while (probably because it simply wasn’t infected) that the pore became pretty big and… hard. Again, we go to work-- friend performing the light home surgery, and me lying down watching with a mirror, shining a flash light on the scene. We used standard procedure: Lance with sterilized straight pin, then squeeze. Ever so slowly, this… thing came out of the pore. It looked like a gigantic grain of rice. We were both in awe. I immediately began to inspect it and a moment later he said, “Ooooh I have to get the tweezers…” One single pluck produced a mangled, bent, twisted hair that had to be two inches long. Of course, I had to inspect that, too… with a pocket microscope 
I still look back on that glorious day, often wishing I could grow another bad ass ingrown pubie. Next time, I’ll name it.
Maybe it was a chimera…
and you killed it! sniffle
I had a whole mess of ingrown hairs in one pore in the middle of my back. My gf spent several hours over several sessions getting all the hairs that were curled up inside it out. There had to be at least 6 in there, built up over the years. She laments that the hairs have not grown back since they were all pulled out: apparently she took great pleasure in doing home surgery on me.
INADermatologist, but was there fairly profuse bleeding? If so (and maybe even if not), then you may have pulled a subdermal wart out of your chin by way of the hair…
…just a thought.
Lynn, of course we want stories! Bring 'em on!
[sub]speaking for everyone else, of course. i’ve no interest in such things. nope, not me. walks away whistling[/sub]
Honey is that you? 
This is my wife’s favorite past time. Once a week I can see her apprasing me in this really odd way. Me, being the stud that I am, used to think she wanted me bad. Now I know she’s just looking for a place to stick a needle. 
Hm. Never seen it called that before. I usually heard it referred to as pseudofolliculitis barbae.
But you’re right that it tends to occur more in ethnic groups with curly beard hair. Or anyone with curly beard hair.
