I have unfrotunately thick and curly hair which is lovely on my head but not so great on my legs.

Over the years I have gotten a lot of scars on my legs because of ingrown hairs.

I was wondering what I could do to help heal/fade these scars and if there's anything I can do to try and prevent them in the first place.

Thanks :)

I get the same thing. Usually the scars fade overtime, but sometimes I use mederma on them. You can buy it at a regular store or pharmacy. To get rid of ingrown hairs you can try gently rubbing your legs with a wash cloth or a pumice stone after you shave. This removes dead skin that comes up when the hairs are shaved. If you shave often you can also minimize the amount of ingrown hairs.
