Ingrown Hair Scars

[midtownnug]

I’ve gotten some pretty bad ingrown hair scars on my bikini line and im looking for a product that will lighten completely or at least a few shades? I’m medium to dark skin ❤️

Treat them the same as you would if they were hyperpigmentation on your face, though perhaps a bit more gently because the skin can be thin down there, plus you may get rubbing from your panties causing irritation. The usual treatments are vitamin c, Arbutin, AHAs (mandelic acid is gentlest and The Ordinary has a cheap serum). I wouldn't recommend retinols because that just sounds ouchy! But even if you can only use gentle products a couple of days a week to avoid irritation, they will fade eventually!
