Hi, I get ingrown hairs on my neck and face. Seems to be after shaving. Anyone experience this? And any solutions? Thanks!

Do you shave against the grain?

Exfoliating might help out a lot.

I used to get those. Before they became inflamed, I used a needle to gently tease the loop out it solved the problem over a period.

Ex-foliating couple of times a week and moisturising after a shave helped sort out the problem for me.

Had one of these around my tailbone, and it got infected. One of the most painful things I've had to endure! Totally sucks

I get ingrown hairs on my neck and have never found a workable solution to it so have to sport a tightly trimmed beard all of the time. I'm hoping to get the hair on my neck lazered soon though which should sort the issue out in the medium -> long term.

I get my missus to prune me. Simples.

Tend to get them on my cheek more than my neck though.
