Exfoliate the area twice a day where ingrown hair is visible. You can use olive oil and sugar as an exfoliant. If the affected area is swollen, apply a topical anti-inflammatory ointment that can help reduce swelling caused by the ingrown hair.

I was told by my acupuncturist to use salt water on my ingrown hairs on my lower legs. She said that putting any sort of oil (for example: tea tree oil / lavender oil) would only clog the pore.

There is no reason for the electric razor to cause ingrown hairs as long as you shave with the direction of the hair growth and use a good after shave. If you shave against the hair growth your chances of getting an ingrown hair are higher.
