Question
This is really embarrassing. I have hair around my nipples. I pluck them, but afterwards I have red dots there and it's really disturbing. I don't know what to do, laser therapy is to expensive...
Answer
I would avoid plucking them because plucked hair comes back thicker and darker. You can trim them, or you can look into electrolysis. One or two treatments may be enough!
