Why do I have bumps and ingrown hairs for over 2 months in my pubic area after laser hair removal? (photos)

OliviaMayRae
I did 2 full Brazilian laser hair removal treatments over 2 months. I've seen my dermatologist for the bumps/ingrown hairs and she said that they should go away in a few weeks. It's been a few weeks since then and it nothing has changed. I am a relatively dark skinned person so there are many pigmented spots on my pubic area due to the ingrown hairs. They are not painful but aren't they supposed to fall out? Will the small bumps (that no longer have the hair follicle) disappear as well?
