scares after shaving

I'm a 17 year old male and about a year ago I tried shaving my private areas. However, after I finished, a series of scares were left behind on my upper and inner thighs around my balls. The scares are still there and I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of them?

I don't shave anything but my face, but I would prefer a simple hand shaver. One of those with 2-4 blades on them. If something goes wrong with one of those, you just have one cut. I always think with those electric razors that when it tears your skin open, it will just rip it off, but never tried or heard of it though.

The scars are not on my actual privates but on my inner thighs, right next to my penis and balls and also where my briefs meet the skin at the elastic on the legs. And I used an electric razor. Is there a better way to shave?

you mean scars? like leftovers from injuries? because I don't think you can get rid of those.
If you really want to get rid of it, see a dermatologist. For a guide on how to shave your groin, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TiJNewpCnY .
One thing; are you sure they are scars? the scrotum has many creases and veins that may look like scars.
