ingrown hairs

Curled-back beard stubble

Ingrown hairs are hairs that curl back or grow sideways into the skin instead of rising up from it.

They create small, often painful bumps that can become inflamed or infected.

Common after shaving, waxing, or other hair removal, especially in areas with coarse or curly hair: She gets ingrown hairs on her bikini line.
