I have a lot of ingrown hairs very deep under my skin around my bikini area (probably from shaving or waxing). How would I go about getting rid of them? Occasionally one will erupt and become inflamed. Does laser hair removal work on hairs that deep?

Answer: Laser Hair Removal is the best treatment for ingrown hairs
Daniel Levy, MDDermatologic Surgeon, Board Certified in Dermatology
Blisters and ulcers are possible from laser hair removal and applying the antibiotic cream is a reasonable place to start. It is likely that the sores are a herpes outbreak brought on by heat from the laser and will not respond to antibacterial therapy. This is not a rare...
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can shave in between your laser hair removal treatments as long as your skin is not irritated from treatment. However, you should not pluck or wax between treatments because this removes the hair follicle the laser targets. Best of Luck!
Thanks for your question and I am not aware of any untoward effects of taking collagen supplements and having laser hair removal performed. I would check with your provider but again, this is not something that I would be concerned with.
