I had lymph nodes removed from my left armpit 3 years ago. Since then I keep getting ingrown hairs on the scar. It was not cancer, just inflamed lymph nodes. The surgeon messed up and left me with nerve damage so now I know when it is going to rain/snow now. The main problem is the ingrown hairs, any ideas on preventing and getting rid of the 2 painful ones I have now. I don't want to go to doctor and would like a natural cure.

When I worked in a dime store a very popular product we sold was shaving powder. Men with curly hair tend to have problems with ingrowns -- "razor bumps" they were called. I don't know how the stuff works but these men swore by it. Shaving powder comes in a can and you can find it with the other shaving stuff. Maybe this will help your problem. Good luck and good health to you!
Is it happening after you shave. I have found the best thing for ingrown hairs after shaving is plain old baby powder. BUT, if it is just happening randomly without shaving, I would make sure you use an antibacterial soap every day or twice a day. Make sure your underarms are dry at all times.
