How do I lighten/remove dark mark from ingrown hair on breast? (Photo)

ljfine1988Dec 11, 2016
I recently had what I believe to be an ingrown hair on my left breast. I have never had this happen before and it left behind a purplish dark mark right in the front of my breast. I'm very self conscious about it and I don't know how to get rid of it. Can anyone make some recommendations?
