However, not every spot or painful lump is an ingrown hair. Recurrent boils, draining lumps or scarring may need medical assessment for infection or conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa. We do not laser over an active infection or assume hair removal will resolve every type of lump.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy the right laser matters for Black skin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack skin contains more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour.
