I've had one of those super long hairs be ingrown. It just coiled in on itself. I thought it was a black spot, so I dug it out with a sharp pair of tweezers. Once I got it and started pulling, it just kept going. Hair and puss came out and it felt terrible. Once I got it out it healed very quickly and felt much better, so I'm glad I did it, but that feeling still creeps me out.
I had one of them in my left arm right at like the bottom of the shoulder muscle. Only thing that happened with it was the pore like... Stretched out until it was about the size of the pump needle you use for like a basketball. Even after finally getting the hair out of it the pore never fully closed back up. I like to joke that it's my vaccine injection port but it's like an inch or so too low for where they usually put them.
