There is a single follicle on my nose from which sprouts a thick, black, very noticeable hair. I pluck that out using tweezers and that causes a large area on the end of my nose to swell and become bright red - just like a clown's nose. It stays like that for several days before going down; a couple of weeks later a new hair appears and the cycle starts again...
What would be the most effective way of killing off this solitary hair follicle?
Thanks - just looked at a price list and hopefully the cost for a single hair will be a lot less than the prices listed there; if not I'll probably just put up with the problem.
Continually plucking the hair will cause it to weaken anyway and it will gradually get thinner. The red area is probably caused by the regrowth, the end is trying to get through! Try using a facial defoiliating scrub which will help the hair to regrow without causing the redness.
Or, as already suggested electrolysis.
