Hi i had ingrown hairs on my mon pubis and it's been over 1 yr but there is still brown skin where i opened to take out the hair is it normal?

Yes!: Skin injury especially after infected pimples around hairs causes dark pigment resulting from blood escaping into the surrounding tissue. This may improve slowly over the years if you avoid any further manipulation of the previously injured area.
