Ingrown hairs occur when hair curls back into the skin, causing red, itchy bumps. Shaving or tight clothing often trigger it. Applying warm compresses and avoiding shaving helps.
Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles, appearing as red pimples or pustules. It’s caused by bacteria or friction. Antibacterial soaps or ointments can soothe mild cases.
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection causing red, itchy rashes. It thrives in sweaty, tight areas. Keeping the skin dry and using antifungal creams are effective treatments.
