Asked By:sorzzi in Los Angeles, CA

I got a laser hair removal on my legs a few years ago and ever since I got this one spot on my leg which started to grow more hair, got itchy from time to time and got darker skin color. It kinda look like a hairy bruise. What can have cause this and why doesn't it go away?
