Is it permissible to go to a specialized salon to remove pubic hair when other methods (shaving, creams, manual plucking) cause skin irritation, darkening, and pimples, especially given the inability to remove it oneself?

We advise you to consult specialists to prescribe pain-free hair removal products for the 'awrah, or to prescribe something that relieves pain after shaving. If this is not possible, and the pain is unbearable and you need to remove it in a salon, there is no harm due to necessity, provided that only what is necessitated by the situation is exposed or touched.
