Dear Rebecca, Thank you for replying to my message and for your advice,
I have tried shaving (just gets sore), and at the moment I do use
plucking which sometimes causes bleeding and doesn't leave a very nice
after effect.. I was always a bit nervous of using lasor treatment -
perhaps I may brave it!!!! If I get any news I will of course let you
know. Take care.
