I'm a guy who's really struggling with pubic hair. It's super itchy when the shaved hair grows back, and I've got these spots where three hairs are coming out of one pore. It feels like scratching nails. I want to get rid of all my pubic hair permanently. Ive heard about laser removal, but Im worried about the pain and curious about the costs. Can you suggest a place in Pune that offers painless laser removal around the penis area?
