Acne or ingrown hairs

I've been having issues down there since April. I thought it was a ton of ingrown hairs since I had just got waxed back in April. My last appointment in June my dr said just dont shave or wax untill after the baby. It's still not clearing up....I'm thinking its acne. Anyone ever deal with this? Is there anything I can do?? What have y'all used to clear things up so I can get waxed/shave again. It's driving me nuts !! Also I'm worried about the scaring :

    It depends.

    It could be an ingrown hair, especially if its in the bikini zone and its small and pimplelike.

    But, it could also be cystic acne which are acne boils which resemble infected ingrown hair pores.

    Since your pregnant there isn't much to do if its cystic, except to soak in a warm bath, or soak the area with a warm cloth 2x per day.

    If ingrown, have you ever tried "Tend Skin"? Its a aftershavetype liquid that you put on after waxing; it prevents rashes, itching and ingrown hair.

    Not that you can do it while preggo...but I switched from waxing to laser and I LOVE it! It has eliminated my ingrown hairs bc it kills hair from follicle. I got good deal on groupon and it was worth it! Doing my pits next bc those get irritated with red bumps too! Like a baby's bottom with no dark hair underneath or red bumps!

    I love PFB for bumps in the bikini area. I break out after waxing, doesn't matter where, and it really helps. I'm not sure if the ingredients in PFB or Tend are on the safe list.
