I need to know do you shave with a razor or clippers? If you shave with a razor stop and start using clippers. Razors aren't really for black mens facial hair, razors are for white people. Razors cut the hair down too low, and the hairs tend to grow back into the skin. If you still have ingrowns it's best to not let the ingrown get to a head with pus, best to get a needle and pick the hair out the skin as soon as you feel some irritation from it. Itchiness is the number one sign of ingrowns. My face never itches, because I have no ingrown hairs at this point all my hair is long.
