The hair keeps on growing and looks for another place to go. And finds it somewhere under the skin. Hair can be irritated by all the hair removal methods or the continuous shafing of clothing. Shaving is considered the leading cause of ingrown hair. Areas most commonly affected are beard, underarms, legs, pubic region, but it can appear anywhere.
