Can I still do the laser hair removal if I have a huge pimple in the bikini area?

I'm sorry that your treatment is not really showing you results that you were hoping for. After 5 sessions there should have been a noticeable reduction in hair growth and therefore, less of a chance for ingrown hair or pimple to develop.
It's never a good idea to have any laser treatments done in the area where there is active inflammation or irritation and that includes pimples. I would advise that you try to gently exfoliate and see if tha cause is an ingrown hair and wait for the redness to disappear before having your next treatment done. You do not want to risk getting burned.
I would also recommend that you try a different laser if you won't see much improvement after 6 sessions. You may consider different laser company or simply a different laser energy type. My office has 4 different lasers  just for laser hair removal and we tailor treatments to suite each patient's needs based on the area to be treated, hair type and color and their skin tone. Hope this helps. Best, Dr. Avaliani

Thank you for your question. I recommend you have this evaluated by a dermatologist. You may need antibiotic or other treatments to treat the folliculitis. Laser hair removal is a great procedure for removing hair permanently and preventing ingrown hairs and folliculitis. Please consult with an expert in laser hair removal to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

The best way to treat folliculitis is with laser hair removal. It is fine to treat over an ingrown hair. I usually see rapid improvement with this problem. Discuss your concerns with your doctor.
