Help Please!!

I have a Braun SilkEpil but it’s a little torture machine, and I end up with red bumps, ingrown hairs and skin so irritated that I can’t even touch. Same happens with wax, even brow waxing is disastrous, my skin peels off too! Hair removal lotions are irritating and smell yuck! I shave every Friday with a new Venus razor blade and Satin Care shaving gel. The first 3 months were great, I never experienced such a close shave with longer lasting results and no irritation, but I don’t know what the heck is going on lately. I start feeling this crazy itch that same night and I scratch so bad that my legs get tiny buy ugly scars. What am I doing wrong? My skin is light brown and I heard laser is not an optionfor me. Is that true?
