If it affects appearance, it can be removed using methods such as razors, depilatory creams, ice-point hair removal, colored light hair removal, or photonic hair removal. It is recommended to visit a正规 medical institution and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. In daily life, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation should be avoided, and the use of overly irritating skincare or cleansing products should be minimized.
