Try using an epilator. I don't get any bumps or ingrown hairs. But if you're not used to your hairs being plucked, it can be painful.

Also, Shave with the grain, meaning in the direction that the hair grows.

This is usually in a downward direction.

3. Prevent by exfoliating to remove the dead skin cells. Hair has to be trained, or teased to grow properly and exfoliating will aid in that growth. To stop ingrowns the key is prevention.

How to Remove an Ingrown Hair?

Ingrown hairs are annoying and painful. Letting the hair grow out and free itself from the skin. This can be done with daily moisturizing and soft exfoliation to slowly remove the dead skin cells that are blocking the hair from reaching the surface. If you wish to remove the hair, it is possible the hair will become ingrown once again; however, a gentle pinching at the site of the ingrown hair should release the hair so you can pluck it.
