Is it possible to do a chemical peel on the bikini area that with help lighten the blemishes or is that too harsh?

Plastic.Princess
I am a healthy 19 year old woman w/ dark skin. For many years I have suffered from folliculitis & ingrown hairs on my bikini area which has left my bikini area extremely scarred. Is it possible to do a chemical peel on the bikini area that with help lighten the blemishes or is that too harsh? Is laser treatment the only option? I'm hoping to find something that is a fast and effective method of help scarring.
