ingrown hairs...??

Ok, I think I've posted about this before but it was a long time ago. I get these little bumps down there from time to time, that look like pimples and when I squeeze them and put some tea tree oil on them they go away in about a week or so. I went to the doctor for her to look at one because I was convinced they were genital warts, but she took one look and assured me it was nothing more than an ingrown hair follicle. Is this possible, because yes I get them in the area that has hair but I don't shave there or anything..how can you get an ingrown hair if you're not shaving? She seemed quite certain that that's what it was but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced these? And if so, how do you prevent them? I don't want to have to explain to someone who sees one - "don't worry it's just an igrown hair" if ya know what i mean, lol.

Even though you don't shave, it is possible to get ingrown hairs.
