Thanks for using the forum.

If the ingrown hair does not come out after a warm compress or bath or you notice any redness or swelling at the site I recommend that you get it checked out and removed by a doctor. You do not want to have an infection at the site. I would also recommend topical antibiotic to the site if there is any open skin.
