You would be a great candidate for laser hair removal to reduce the amount of ingrown hairs and number/size of the hair follicles in the area. You may require 6-8 treatments approximately 4-6 weeks apart. Best of luck!

Laser hair removal would be a great option as it would not only significantly reduce hair growth by 80%, but also thin out the hair that does grow back reducing the chance of ingrown and itchiness.  With less hair growth, you will also shave less; helping with the pigment.   I suggest doing a light exfoliation/body scrub on the treated area in between laser sessions, about 3 days post treatments.
