What treatments are there for ingrown hair scars on breasts?

November 13, 2012
Asked By:kikiuk

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.
