Dark marks and scars from ingrown hair and irritation from shaving vagina how can I get rid of them?

Thank you for the advice. I just ordered alpha hydrox with 10% glycolic acid. I'm praying it works! My legs have so many ingrowns and scars from the epilator. Although, I love it cause my hair hardly grows back quickly but I need a fix. I don't want to go through laser as it is expensive.

Will keep you posted! Hoping this really works.

The best thing you can do is try Zinc. Take two tablets twice a day internally but also crush a tablet with few drops of water, to make it into a paste and apply directly two to three times a day on the area. I promise it works wonders!!!

I have the same problem but I think i've found a cure , it's called Shea Butter , What i usually do is rub it on the spots before going to bed and then sleeping with it on

Hello,As for me i have really black areas both vagina area and my underarms and also i live in a hot weather country which makes it worst..I have a very sensitive skin i cant wax and specially the vagina area, i have tried all kind of creams and oils includint bio oil and seriously noone of them worked for meso the only solution is DO NOT SHAVE, DONT WEAR TIGHT CLOTHES A LOT cause i think u do sweat alot just like me, scrub lemon and real 100% honey also you try to mix lemon with gram flour and apply as a mask 2 to 3 times a day if you want fast respond. Then my mom told me to do a cream called shirley from indonesia i think and its working abit for me.Other than this i have no idea but this issue of dark underarms and vagina area made me really NUTS, i cant wear sexy clothes, cant go the beach and also i cant go to any turkish wash in my country cause i am from Morocco and its a MUST to go from my mom, but i feel so ashamed and discusted from myself due to this issue All i can say who ever feels the same way i just wish him/her best of luck. ITS A DISASTER!!

Do you know if this can be used in vaginal areas? the the bikini zone area?

Well Use Hair Remover Creams , painless & leaves it soft like a baby . im 16 & i use to get ingrown hairs all the time now im try to get rid of the scares

What is the name brand of this lotion? My legs r so bad from using the epilator. I use pfb vanish serum although I see some improvement but not much.

hi i have the same problem with dark bikini lines and it really embrassing for me when im around my finace, weve been together since i was 14 and it got worst through out the years i recommend you stop shaving and for ten minutes before i get into the shower i mix lemon juice with brown sugar and with a cotton ball apply to the dark areas and wash it off with cool water before i take  shower and now as my fiance likes to say i have a porn star bottom. this also work for dark underarms and dark mustache area.

What method of hair removal do u use then elly ??

I have the same problem.

I have never used Bio oil but try Rosehip Oil its the same kinda thing It will take a while though.

My current solution to this awful problem is wearing board shorts when swimming and never letting anyone see me naked.  My upper thighs and stomach are just repulsive with ingrown hair scars.

I have tried just about everything. Thank you for all suggestions and tips.  I will just have to keep trying because one day I would like to swim in regular bathers and I hope, beyond all hope, that I may be confident enough to be naked in company.  

I have the same problem.

I start using an ingrown hair product (work for razor rash, pimples and irritation causes by shaving) and it I didn't had ingrown hair problems but I stop it for 8 months and the ingrown hair are back, so you need to use it for a long time.

And for the scars and dark marks I use  tea Tree Oil which is relieving but the dark marks take a while to go away, so I try those lightning lotion and use it once a week and it help slowly. 

The best way is to save up and get an Electrolysis hair removal, it suit dark skin tone unlike Laser removal.

I saw this and I wanted to share what has worked for me. I have thick coarse hair and since I started shaving my bikini line I've had major issues with ingrown hairs and scarring. I found that using a trimmer cuts the hair really short. Once I've done the trim I use the Cleancut ES412 Personal Shaver. This leaves my skin silky smooth and with out the ingrown hairs or irritation. Now I'm looking for ways to get rid of the scarring. Shaving with a razor is the worst thing to do if you are prone to getting ingrown hairs.

I have the same problem.. When I started shaving those hairs it just became more and thicker.. waxing it didn't help much either because then I got ingrown hairs and it got reddish. I just remove the hairs with a tweezer now. I have some ugly dark marks and I'd also like them to go away (with the hair), any solutions? Btw I live in Belgium and we don't have a CVS Pharmacy.

Okay I had the same problem and so far it is going completely away.. you dont have to stop shaving you need to shave with a thick creamy soap and less often. I use yardley almond.. a bar soap that also has oatmeal which gets rid of scars :) for somersome stubborn razor bumps you can use skin softeners like aloe..dry skin treatments etc. It worked for me and my darker complexion!
