Suggest Remedy To Heal Dark Red Mark In Ingrown Hair Spot

Hi, I have had an ingrown hair on my stomach, beneath my belly button however I got it out. But now there is a dark red mark there and I am currently using bio oil. Will this heal it? Or could you suggest anything else? Also, suggest ways in preventing them in the future.

It would be good to use an antibiotic ointment on the advice of your loacl doctor. To check similar lesions appearing in future, please take care of your hygiene, get yourself checked up to rule out Diabetes and notice if there is any correlation between the new lesions and using depilatory procedures.
