Ingrown hairs are those bumps caused by the tiny hairs not breaking out of your skin and continuing to grow under a layer of skin. They can be pretty tricky to remove, and can cause infection when not done correctly.
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. She said after washing to dilute some salt in warm water and put this on the problem area for a few minutes every day until it clears up. I'm trying it now!
You should absolutely not start pinching or scratching the bump an ingrown hair creates. Se if the bump disappears by itself after a day or two. If the bump does not disappear or if it becomes infected go to your doctor to have it removed professionally. To prevent getting future ingrown hairs using a body lotion that contains alpha hydroxy acid can help.

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.
