Does anyone know how to stop ingrown hairs?

I keep getting ingrown hairs on my pubic area from pulling which leave nasty scars and scabs. Any tips on how to remove them?

I have used Tend Skin in the past and it helped, even though it doesn't smell friendly. The odor goes away pretty quickly. I think I'm going to start using it again because my problem is seeking out potential ingrown hairs and squeezing the follicle on my legs and pubes. legs are worse because i end up contorting myself and hurt my neck by searching for ingrowns for like 2 hours. maybe if i use the Tend Skin again I'll be able to quit picking. It's only gotten bad the last year or 2. And don't use an Epilator--they seem to cause more ingrowns.

Saw this old post.. I've been tweezing my leg hairs for almost 3 years. Scabs, discoloration, ingrown hair bumps everywhere...

would tend skin help repair the discoloration damage i've done to my legs?
