How do I go about keloids on my bikini line?

Question

I have a couple of keloids on my bikini line from when I was 14 and shaving recklessly and cutting myself all the time. I'm prone to ingrown hairs so I am considering laser hair removal down there somewhere along the line but before I do that I would really like to get rid of my keloids or at least flatten them out. Is this something I should tell my primary care doctor about or should I just go to a obgyn or plastic surgeon or dermatologist?

Our Hidef Keloid therapy is ideal for keloids. I would start with scar modulation including laser therapy, IIT Kenalog, and Plato's Scar Serum first.

There are at least a few types of scars.  It is important to actually see the scars to make a recommendation.  Suggest having a consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your treatment options
