This may sound gross but whenever I get them I pluck it out with a tweezer.

hmmm......can your DH get to it? I feel like it just might be a wasted trip to the derm if you can try to do it yourself.

Take a hot washcloth and open the pore with it...like leave it on like a compress. Then squeeze it! hahaha
Seriously though, the hair should come out that way...if it doesn't give it some time after you squeeze it to find its way up...sometimes it takes a day or two to mature.
If you dig with tweezers, make sure you use a disinfectant after!

I have had lots of those....hot wash cloth to open up the pore if its already infected then you have to see your doctor anyway for antibiotics.

Crashing; I would soak the area in warm water so the skin gets soft and it would be eaiser to get it out, make sure you get it out b/c that area could become infected!.....good luck

Gross again...but if the hair can not be gotten with the tweezer I take a pin and scrape the hair out...hurts like hell but once its out it heals quickly.

Umm where is said hair?
I'm all for popping. Gross...hell yeah. I think I was a dermatologist in a former life. I love popping and peeling sunburned skin.
