What treatments are there for ingrown hair scars on breasts?

kikiukNov 13, 2012
I am currently having laser hair removal around my nipples but up till now I have been plucking the hairs which caused some ingrown hairs. A couple got infected and i picked them which has caused a scar which goes in slightly and is about 7mm in width. Is there any treatment for this sort of scar? Thank you in advance.

I would discuss your request with the American Burn Association.  Every state has a regional burn center for the most part.  Donation of skin is a very noble act.

I would treat this scar with subcision, fillers, PRP SC, fractional laser, and surgical scar release as part of the Hidef scar protocol in our office. Best, Dr .Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

The bump likely represents scar tissue, a cyst, or foreign body. Scar revision can help fix all of these three issues through surgical excision of the area of scar tissue.
