On my bikini line, I still have a little red mark from an ingrown hair I had from the summer. How can I get it to go away?

Vitamin E oil can be good for reducing scars but takes some time.

Well i had the exact same problem and my answer to you would be to 1 get a loofah they are little round like sponges that have 4 holes. You can get one at Shoppers Drug Mart or Wal Mart... anywhere really. They are not very expensive which is a bonus! and then when you are ready to use it. . . massage in a circular motion over the area where you see you have an ingrown hair. It is really good to use it every time you take a shower or a bath because it helps take off the dead skin cells which is usually what causes an ingrown hair to begin with. Another thing that you can do to take a bath in epson salt.. they are little grains of salt that work as an esfoliant when you are taking a bath! it works really well. And the last thing that you could try is polisporin which helps minimize the appearance of scars. I also heard that tanning is good for ingrown hairs too but then again i dunno if would recommend it haha.
Hope i was able to help!

A friend of mine had one of those on the back of his neck. His doctor insisted on doing surgery to remove it. Now he has an even bigger scar, and he feels very self-conscious about it. I don't know what you SHOULD do, but I suggest being very careful because you could make it worse.
