When you remove hair from the follicle, sometimes it grows back and curls under the skin, causing inflammation and unsightly bumps.
Although similar to a zit, an ingrown hair and pimple are not the same thing. "Pimples are caused from hormones, oils, and bacteria while an ingrown hair is caused when the hair curls on itself to create a bump" Dr. Gohara explained.
