i have looked at laser treatment a few times myself over the years.
from what i understand of the process, im not an ideal candidate having fair skin and red hair which means trying it out when there is a strong chance it wont e successfull for me.
its also very expensive here in the UK and aside from this relatively recent issue i do have problems with hair growth in other areas too.
like a lot of people , a compromise has to be reached due to economics,and although ideally trying laser removal would appeal to me as something which might work ( so would be worth trying) the reality is it costs too much especially when the likelihood of it working effectively on me isnt the best odds possible to justify the exopense.
what is happening in this specific area is that after trying waxing and shaving for a short period of time, this seems to have over sesitised the folicles? prior to the waxing i never had the issue of raised red spots ever.
the proprtion of ingrown hairs probably,on balance isnt that high, but whats happening often is as one grows its creating a red,raised lump.which takes motnhs to get rid of no matter how its treated.
its not the same site each time,and i go to lengths to ensure im doing all i can using antibacterial cleanser,a body brush to scrub twice per day etc.
but seems as a hair growns to the point where it would normally start to be seen above the skin, its becoming ingrown which is the beginning of the raised lump.which then becomes a red lump and nothing i can ( or dont do) eliminates this when it appears.
tried removing the ingrown with little success because often its impossible to see where it is.tried applying antiseptic to the area,tried using a prescription cream i have from my doctor thats to dry up spots,an so on.
nothing irradicates one when it comes up.no matter whats done, it dosnt alieviate it and clear it up .ive got it for months befre it goes away completely.
am going to persevere with going back to the original way i removed the hair which was dipilatory creams as this at least hasnt made it worse,and to a lesser extent has reduced the number i have at any one time.
i had originally expected it would take a few months once id returned to the depilatory cream, for the red lumps/spots to stop.but perhaps its something which will take longer than a few months to sort itself out and i was over optimistic.
am also going torequest a referall to a dermatolagist from m Doctor when i next see him too.it certainly cannot do any harm, and could bring to light maybe something which could alleviate or prevent whats happening with these red lumps.
