TendSkin works well but it burns a bit, I like letting it dry and then topping with a layer of finipil which my esthetician recommended. It also fights razor burn and has a cooling sensation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4YJL96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_VQJKHX87B2JQAE1XR287
Your hair follicles are still being clogged and/or infected. Hydrating the skin is a great first step. Make sure you are exfoliating everyday as well. I have also used this lotion and it made a huge difference in red bumps. finipil Lait 50,1.5 fl oz, 44 ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4YJL96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_-u4ZBb0SC0NY4
You're very welcome. :) For me, Vaniqa has been more economical than laser, despite the ridiculous cost, but for others the opposite may be true. I use a tiny amount of it, so the expensive tube can be stretched out to two months of use. I'm eager to try out the generic version when it arrives. I'll pop back on here and comment on it then.
I do see an endocrinologist, as well as a dermatologist.
For the hair on your body, you can probably just shave or pluck it. Your chest is generally more resilient than your face, so you don't have to worry as much about breakouts. There's this cream I got on Amazon that has significantly helped to prevent ingrown hairs and irritation: https://www.amazon.com/finipil-Lait-50-1-5-44/dp/B00C4YJL96/ref=pd_nav_hcs_bia_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CYJB30SEBCQTR86VF3ZD
I’ve also had great results with this as well.

idk if you have tried this already but I kept on hearing people tell me to exfoliate over and over and well yes I did that but it made ZERO difference.
What actually got rid of my ingrown hairs was using a topical antiseptic cream. This will kill the bacteria that can cause red bumps.
I use this antiseptic cream. This got rid of my problem pretty quick. I'd say within 1 week of applying it once a day after a shower my red bumps were almost gone. Be patient as it will still take at least 4 days to see a difference. I have sensitive skin and have never had a burning reaction from this because it contains no alcohol.

Maybe try Finipil Lait antiseptic cream? link
I always use finipil lait after a wax. And the next few days after that I use a chemical exfoliant and I have found that works for me.

Finipil does the same thing as Tend Skin, without any burning. Love that stuff.
