For years now I have had these disgusting scars located beneath my belly button area. Ive searched google and no one seems to address this issue. When I was little, I began shaving. I shaved everywhere. I had developed ingrown hair on my tummy and after the hairs were plucked, these scars made them self at home on my stomach. At the age 17 now, I find myseld extremely self consious of these black marks. Please help and assist me in ridding these stomach bullies!! Thank you sooooo much!!

Thank you for enclosing a photo. This area of the body can be difficult with scars as the forehead is on a significant amount of tension. One criteria that plastic surgeons always ask is how long the scar has been there. Scars typically look the worst at 4 months and better at 10 months. ...
Hypertrophic scars from acne and pustules can be improved with pulsed dye laser and topical creams. I would recommend Melarase cream for the dark spots and discoloration.
