Cycling should not cause ingrown hairs...this is actually caused by shaving, waxing or other hair removal treatments (the hair grows back, and can become "ingrown" in the skin). If you do not remove the hair, then it will not become ingrown.
The discomfort you feel...how long has this been occurring? For most women, cycling or spinning does cause pain/discomfort in the genital area for a few weeks, but then dissipates. It can take a while to get used to all of the pressure in that one area, and depends on the quality of the seat you are using, too. Have you talked with the instructor about your "seat area" discomfort? How long have you been cycling and experiencing pain?
