How do I go about keloids on my bikini line?

C
Crystal189Jun 23, 2017

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?

I would use a combination of Melapads, Melarase PM, and light chemical peels. You can also benefit from fractional laser treatments that are light. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
