Skin discoloration after waxing

JSMM · 06-22-2009, 08:37 AM

Hello.

I started waxing about a year ago. I received about 3 brazillian waxes and was very happy with the result (maybe only one or two ingrowns). Then I moved and decided to try sugaring. After 2 sessions I'd had enough and never wanted to sugar again--I was littered with ingrowns and it was more painful.

Well, I've been back to waxing since, but my bikini area is almost as embarrassing as it was before waxing. The thing is the bikini area still has TONS of ingrowns and there are dark spots of skin everywhere, even if there isn't an ingrown.

Please help! I'm not too sure what to do about this skin discoloration and ingrowns.

Try a skin lightening cream with hydroquinone that usually does the trick for spots.

You can also consult your dermatologist.
