[routine help] 25f long term healed ingrown spots on thigh

Hello, I have had these spots on my upper inner thigh for a couple months now. I made the mistake of picking at ingrowns and made them worse without solving them. Now I am anti destruction and trying to be better 2026 but I need help with the issues i already had. I am currently doing IPL to help with chronic ingrowns. I typically had 2 hairs growing out of each follicle and was prone to ingrowns and couldn’t help but pick. How do I lift these without messing myself up and scarring myself? The one in the first pic seems to fill with blood and want to be popped but I am refraining. PLEASE please help. I am going on a trip to Mexico next month and I want to be in a bikini with confidence. Any steps or skincare routine for this area is greatly appreciated, as well as consideration for current IPL use and how it may help or hinder. I have the Philips lumea. Please help or advise on what you guys think I should do and how to lift an old cyst/ grown over healed area. I have been told my hair grows sideways so always was very prone to skin growing over. Thank you!!! Please advise on routine or opinions.
