Ingrown hair/acne scars

Has anyone had any success with fading these.
I have suffered in the past and still do occasionally with horrible spots and ingrown hairs around my bikini line and top of thighs.
They've all left me with purple scars.

As you can imagine they look really delightful

They didn't bother me as much before but I've lost 3 stone and for the first time in years have the confidence to wear a bikini on holiday.
Before I just wore bikini shorts.

Interested to hear if anyone ever managed to fade them at all.

I’m not sure about fading scars but I wax and have an ott routine to avoid them:

I use Spritz for Bitz (mean for post birth) for a few days afterwards, it has witch hazel in it which is soothing. Then Sudocrem every night for first 3-4 days whilst the pores are so open to stop infection- a waxer recommended this years ago.

In the shower I exfoliate with a mit, wash cloth or every now and then a salt scrub.

Then I use a very light moisturiser once a day in the morning and wipe over with salicylic acid in the evening. This is not every single day but most.

Doing all this really minimises in grown hairs. Some of the salicylic acid toners say they reduce scarring so might be worth a try.
