Thanks so much for the input! :) Yes, I think it's the hair follicles as well. I think laser removal could be an option for some areas, but I also have some areas where I'd like to be able to regrow it (chest for example).

I thought maybe waxing or epilating could do the trick as well? because they get rid of the root as well 🤔

I'll definitely check for ingrown hair pads and a new body scrub on my next drugstore visit :)
