If it's not ready to be popped you can't force. The best thing to do is just keep applying warm compress on it several times a day.. this will help draw it to the surface. If severe, then you should see your doctor so it can be cut and drained properly so further infection doesn't occur.

Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don’t forget to click the *accept* button!

its been there for like three years...it gets inflamed...then goes away, then comes back....my chin has been sore to the touch the whole time....by the time i get an appointment with a dermatologist, the inflammation goes back down...lol...i made the mistake of asking my mom what could be worse than having hair on your chin...i guess having an ingrown hair on your chin is my answer...i know i should keep my hands off but it really hurts, and i really want it out of there...are there any home remedies to draw a hair out quickly?
