Hi , I’m in my 20s of Afro/Carribean descent and have scars on my mons pubis from shaving when I was 12ish. It’s now making me feel a bit insecure especially as I’m looking to get into relationships. I can’t tell if it’s keloid/hypertrophic scars (they’re mildly raised and hair doesn’t grow in those regions anymore) I’ve heard about pfb, silicon gel etc and want suggestions on the best products to treat this at home& if they fail I’ll see a doctor. Please see pictures attached, thank you
