How To Reduce Multiple Scars On Armpits Due To Plucking Of Hairs?
Hello, I have multiple scars on my armpits due to plucking my hairs with tweezers. There are also ingrown hairs and places where white puss comes out when I squeeze that spot. How do I treat the scars, get rid of the ingrown hairs, and cure the white puss areas without going to the doctors or getting any kind of surgery?

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
From your description it looks like you are suffering from a condition called Hidradenitis suppurativa. It is not because of using tweezers. It is a disorder of apocrine glands similar to sweat glands.
This requires long term treatment and a Dermatology consultation for it.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
