Trying to pick at the ingrown pimple/hair is not a really good idea for three reasons. One, it won’t do anything to help your situation, even in the short term. Two, it will hurt, a LOT! Three, you could leave yourself with an acne scar and could increase your chances of getting an ingrown pimple again in that area.
