I have some black scars on my legs skin. Some times I see ingrowing hair very deep in my skin , they seem like black spots,so there is no way but too pull them out. After that the scars will appear & remain long as the past, I can't wear skirt or shorts cause I don't like my legs bee seen.  Help me,,   so depressed:(

There are lotions and such to fade scars, but nothing will get rid of them completely.  I have over 50 scars on my legs from a childhood thing.  I was embarrassed to wear shorts or skirts for the longest time.  Finally, at 21 (a year ago), I said screw it, I'm not letting this own me.  I bought three skirts and a pair of shorts while at the store.  I got over it.  You can't let something so minuscule and trivial ruin your wardrobe potential.  Love yourself the way you are.

It best that you see a dermatologist or skin doctor... It might be ex but it work... Other alternative you can take VIT E orally or apply on the skin.. It help to lighten the scar.

I think you should contact your doctor and find out what is causing the scars before you worry about reducing their appearance.

Scars are not a mystery.  She said that she is pulling out ingrown hairs, so from the sounds of it, that causes a little scab and she probably keeps picking at that until there is a bigger scar.
