Asked By:91101973 in Canada, KY

I did laser hair removal yesterday and it hurt A LOT. I feel fine now it doesn't hurt but after inspecting my body I noticed huge black scary marks around my anus and I'm terrified that they are permanent or something. my skin always gets red and bumpy after laser hair removal and it goes away after a day or two. This is completely different please help me I don't know what to do. I've attached a picture of one side. It's like this on the other side too. Please tell me what this is.
