Ingrown hair and blackened underarm pits
For the longest time I have had skin that is prone to ingrown hair. I have seen a lot of improvement in my hands and arms due to regular scrubbing and moisturising. However, it's not the same case with my legs, which also have larger pores. How can I improve them in 3 months(I have a big event coming up and I want to be able to wear western dresses)? Would laser surgery make an improvement in that?
Another query is related to my underarms. Recently, I have seen dark patches in my underarms and they are not going away even after mild scrubbing. I think it's because of the heat and sweat. Can it be treated with chemical treatments?
