How to get rid of light scars from pubic area, female. (Photo)

July 2, 2017
Asked By:madisus in New York, NY

I have a habit of picking deep ingrown hairs from pubic area with tweezers. This resulted in flat scars lighter than the surrounding skin. Is there any options that'll help diminish the appearance greatly or completely get rid of the scars. The scars are old and some are forming/new.
