Ingrown Hair or Abscess?

I had an emergency c-section almost 9yrs ago.. prior to.. another c-section 7yrs ago thru the same vertical scar that never healed right..its very wide towards the bottom. my question is, i shave down there and ive noticed 2 ingrown hairs that have grown thru the bottom of my scar. They honestly have been there for about 6months.. because i didnt know what to do about them. But now, one is very badly infected and is swollen. so much infact, that my scar is looking more wide. its very sore and im scared and dont know what to do about it. how can i ease the pain and maybe help the swelling to go down so i can get a doctor to pull the hairs at my next appointment (aug 1st). thank you for your time.

You need to see a doctor. I do not know how bad your “ingrown” hair looks like, but you may have an abscess or a wider scale infection developing. Of couse, these are the worst case senarios. I would call your doctor to move up the appointment or visit a walk in clinic.
