 Hi Moolaskey,
Ingrown hairs can be a difficult problem. You may want to try using a product with Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide (such as topical acne treatments) to try to exfoliate the skin a little and help the skin soften to prevent ingrown hairs.
If this is unsuccessful there are some medical treatments that would require a visit to the doctor (such as laser/phototherapy). Seeing a dermatologist would be the best option.
Best wishes.
