Ingrown hair, medically known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly affects the beard area of the face. It occurs more with curly hair rather than straight. Once the hair curls, either under the skin or at the skin level, it continues growing under the skin. This produces redness, inflammation or infection. For chronic problems, a good treatment program that eliminates the hair ranks high in effectiveness.
