Hi!! I'm 22 years old and I prefer shaving to any other armpit hair removal method since this is easier. I've been doing this since ages and this has resulted in dark marks. I wondered why this is happening all of a sudden. I thought of wearing a backless dress for the prom which is to be held on 8th October. I have already given it for designing. So I’m worried about the discoloration.

One of my friends suggested to try waxing or plucking underarm hair instead of shaving. I have once tried waxing my arms and there were red spots on my arms. I was not able to tolerate the itching so I consulted my GP. He said that I’m allergic to waxing and advised me to not to use it again. He gave medication and also advised me to avoid hot shower for few days. So I don’t think waxing is a good option for me.

Also, she said that if the discoloration persists even after trying waxing and plucking, then I could consider laser hair removal treatment from a clinic in Richmond Hill. I don’t know the details regarding this procedure. Since I’m allergic to waxing, I think I could try laser treatment. But before scheduling an appointment, I would like to know if there are any risks associated with the procedure. Also, the aftercare of the procedure. Thanks!!
