It is pubic hair. Sorry for the typo. I am sixty-six years old and quite sensitive down there. It would be nice to be rid of the discomfort.

Brief Answer:
Photo epilation is my choice

Detailed Answer:
Hi madam.Thanks for writing back.

Since shaving and waxing did not help I would advise permanent destruction/removal of affected hair follicle by photo-epilation. Suggest to consult a dermatologist to avail this treatment.

Get well soon.Please feel free to post any further queries you may have.
Good day!
