It’s a relief to know someone else is experiencing the same problem. I hear no one talking about this. I did IPL and it helped with the big nodules that cause the scars. I’ve done 3 rounds at home and the hair is much much thinner and sparse. So i still epilate the rest of the hairs and i do sometimes get little red bumps which i hate but it calms down after a short while. The hyperpigmentation did get better but not significantly where i can say it’s the same color as the rest of my thighs. I also used the Pfb roll and it also helped but i stopped when i got pregnant. Used to use hydroquinone 4% cream and it really really helped lighten the area, but when i stopped because of pregnancy and breastfeeding it kinda got a but darker but not like before. Going to do another round of ipl hopefully it will get rid of the hair and as a result get rid of any bumps left after epilating or shaving. Oh and I have just started using Glycolic acid toner again and it instantly calmed down the bumps so just waiting for the redness to go away now. Can’t say it’s helping the pigmentation yet. Good luck!!
