INGROWN HAIRS
An ingrown hair is a hair that curls and penetrates the skin with its tip, causing inflammation. Ingrown hairs are more common among people with very curly hair. Most ingrown hairs occur in the beard area.
The most common symptom of an ingrown hair is inflammation of the skin, followed by pus formation. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms of an ingrown hair may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
An ingrown hair often heals on its own. However, in the case of chronic ingrown hairs, treatment may include:
allow the hair to grow longer
depilatory (to remove the hair)
electrolysis (to remove the hair)
Cysts are noncancerous, closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material. Cysts are common on the skin and can appear anywhere. They feel like small peas under the surface of the skin. Cysts can develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glands (oil glands), or around foreign bodies, such as earrings.
The process and treatment was painless, quick and effective. My hats off to Dr. Ghasri

Dr. Ghasri is really as good as it gets. If there were a 10-star option, I’d pick that.
