After shaving, irritation on the legs - red dots, are especially visible when it is cold. Actually, don't wear a skirt.
There are a lot of them above the knee (I also shave there, because my hair is long and dark) What should I do?
There are no ingrown hairs, but red dots + goose bumps. Previously there was no irritation at all.
I had the same thing = (I was terribly embarrassed about it, covered my legs with foundation.. I just stopped using the epilator, I’ve been shaving with a machine for over a year now. It’s not completely gone yet, but it’s gotten much better. I saved my tan in the summer. Also try Belogent ointment or diprogent (the same thing, different manufacturers), helped a little.
Well, I’m also a machine tool, but I’m still afraid ((((
tanning doesn't help - I don't tan well
***, this has never happened before((((
Everything was great before too! And then it started: all the legs were speckled! I suffered for 2 weeks - I didn’t shave and used a scrub regularly. And then I removed it with an epilator. Now everything is fine.
And I have the same ***. On this forum I was advised to buy a washcloth made of natural material and scrub my feet. It helped! Maria is right, you need to wait a little, don’t shave your legs, scrub them, rub them with a washcloth, and only then shave. By the way, what do you use to shave with? Could there be a problem with the shaving product?
But I don’t shave my legs! I have the same problem too! I recently visited a dermatologist and was told to smear it with Belogent. The diagnosis is folliculitis, but this disease looks different. I don't understand anything. What to do? =(
I also have red spots all over my legs - only tanning helps. But sunbathing is harmful. What should I do?
How annoying is this?(
I don’t know the details, but I saw on another forum that the reason could be poor nutrition.
I saw a dermatologist, they said that it could be a lack of vitamin A in the body. I started recruiting Aevit and Revalid.
I started going to the solarium..not everything..but it almost disappeared..
Girls, I think that this should be treated from the inside with vitamins A and E, try applying olive oil or Lux cream to the desired areas. And of course a tan. In fact, I read that it could even be hereditary.
In general, these points are from improper shaving or epilation and treatment after it. I had this before, it disappeared as soon as I started shaving my legs in hot water) it’s good to steam before epilation and apply oil after (I use Jonson’s baby chamomile) the tanning spots don’t go away, they’re just not that noticeable
I have the same problems (Which I haven’t done before, hair removal, now I started shaving my legs, the red dots still don’t go away. This didn’t happen before. And now I’ve tried everything, all that’s left is a doctor(
Afterwards, I also have constant red dots, and they look like wounds if you look closely. Terrible. I don't wear skirts at all. The dots go away (or are simply not noticeable) if you don’t shave 4. But you yourself understand that you need to shave))))))))))))))))))))) I can’t use an epilator) it hurts. And sometimes I shave in the evening, and at night I can wake up because it’s terribly itchy, and it’s already happened that I combed until it bled. =(((((
Girls, well, has anyone tried Belogent or Deprogent ointment? Did it help? any results?
Now I’ll go buy it, many people advise =) Then I’ll write the result, it’s interesting if it shows up right away?!)
I have girls from both the dipelator and the razor, they bring me to tears, it’s summer, everyone is in shorts, and I’m in pants (((
I thought I was the only one, but there are a lot of us watching)))
I have the same! Several years ago I used an epilator, terrible red dots appeared, so I switched to an epilator!! 3 or 4 years have passed, the dots are still there! especially when it’s cold, it’s not the legs, but the horror! The only thing that saves you is a tan, as you can’t see them! and this is either a feature of the skin, or I don’t know what, but there’s no way to remove it :(
Yes, just creepy! I used an epilator for about a year, everything was fine, and now these terrible red dots appeared on my legs. No matter what I tried to get them out, it was all to no avail. You can’t look at your feet without tears. Dear girls, please advise how to get rid of these spots forever. I don’t use an epilator now, I switched back to a razor.
Yeah. For me personally, these spots are especially noticeable after taking a bath.. And that’s about it, but I go to the solarium and it’s fine
These dots also appeared recently for me, they weren’t there before, and it feels like they are getting bigger, even though I haven’t shaved my legs for a while, maybe it’s the skin stretching?
In addition to these red dots, I also have ingrown hairs here and there. This problem appeared a year ago when I started using an epilator. then by machine. It got worse and worse... and now I started using wax strips. really like. expensive, but as they say, the miser pays twice. the way it is. There are no ingrown hairs. but the red dots never went away(((
Oh girls, same problem. Now they're so itchy..Brrr:(has anyone tried this Belogent ointment? And how much does Johnson Baby chamomile oil help? Tomorrow I'll go to the pharmacy and buy something, otherwise it's just terrible..
I join on this issue
Previously, I had no skin problems other than dryness, but considering how much bleach was injected, I didn’t worry, I just always moisturize my skin. In the summer I bought a new razor with additional VENUS EMBRACE blades from Gillette, and it gave me dotted reddish-crimson spots. Moreover, they are not everywhere, but only above the knee and in front.
I take vitamins A and E, and I steam my feet with scrubs, lotions, and ointments. And I haven’t shaved my legs for over a month. No changes at all =(
The doctor said that it was an allergy and most likely to the gel applied to the razor blades.
This is not an advertisement. The doctor prescribed me to drink Tentorium tablets for a completely different reason, but after a month of taking it, I noticed that the skin on my legs became better and there were fewer red spots.
Yesterday I got:((((((((((((
My feet would sometimes itch, but I always don’t tolerate winter well—my skin feels like sandpaper in winter! and yesterday I saw these dots. (((.
I really don’t really eat anything, I haven’t wanted to lately, maybe the nutrition is taking its toll. but they also say that it’s nervous, like stress and this and that!
Oh, those nerves. All diseases come from them.
Yes girls. thank you for such advice. I'll run to the pharmacy. and it brings me to tears, it’s a shame to wear everything short. especially after a bath(((((((
Girls, cream with lactic acid or milk peelings will help get rid of these red spots on your legs. Of course, they are preferable for the face, but they also help very well for the legs!
Girls, most women have these points... those who don’t have them simply have thick skin on their legs, and those who have thin skin. They get worse with age, because you get older and shave your legs almost every day. naturally the hair begins to grow thicker and thicker. this is physiology. I see only one method of fighting, summer tanning and waxing at home or in the salon.
Until recently I used this Vines machine .. and these dots appeared on my legs .. it’s DEFINITELY IRRITATION ON THIS STRIP. When I used regular machines everything was fine :)
All this is nonsense about nutrition, etc. Just steam your legs, maybe someone used your blade to shave, maybe the gel or foam is bad (I’m allergic to Nivea), so these spots appear. wait a little, moisturize your legs, steam them and after hair growth... shave in hot water... that’s how I do it
Yes, apparently, it doesn’t matter who shaves or waxes and with what. The dots still appear in all cases(
Probably only ointment will save!
girls, I also suffer from this crap, because of this crap I don’t even remember the last time I wore skirts.
I’ve been smearing my feet with Troxevasin ointment for about 2 weeks now and these spots have already disappeared a little. or rather, they did not disappear, but only became paler, which is why they are now less noticeable.
But this ointment has two drawbacks: one is that it runs out quickly (it lasts for a week) and the fact that it is a little sticky!
it needs to be smeared twice a day, morning and night.
The dots appear because you don’t wear skirts and dresses, but more often jeans and pants, and they have rough material.
You also shave your legs in insufficiently warm water, when they all get goosebumps) as they wrote here - it’s better to steam it before shaving, and then lubricate the legs with cream so that the skin calms down. then put on soft home pants so that they can stay in this warmth and beauty, but it’s best to do this at night and get into pajamas :)
and it would be nice to massage those problem areas every day with a regular brush, you’ll get something like peeling and hairs won’t grow in) and it’s good for cellulite))
try anointing with apricot oil - it seems to nourish and heal - I have this problem myself, I apply the oil - it seems to help a little)
I have the same problem, I noticed the dots last year, but there weren’t many of them, but this year their number has noticeably increased.
But I don’t use either a machine or a depilator, I use VEET cream.
I think maybe this is a reaction to him?
and why should people recommend hormonal ointments?
I’ve had these red dots for about 5 years and it doesn’t matter what I use to remove hair, it’s still wax, epilator or razor. It all started with the razor, my boyfriend generally hates it when I shave my legs, my hair becomes coarse, I can imagine the picture, he runs his hand along his leg and immediately there are scratches on his palm)))) In general, I’m not going to give up the epilator, But I don’t know what to do with the dots, there is a lot of advice, I especially liked the advice with hormonal creams, which are based on the adrenal hormone. If you want beautiful legs, donate a kidney)))) Today I’ll try lactic acid and fat cream, let’s see what happens. If everything goes well, I'll tell you)
Hello. I got them during my second pregnancy, in the second half. I removed hair with an epilator throughout my pregnancy. I don’t know what it is, but I’m very upset about it. A bunch of skirts and shorts are now in the closet. I can’t even imagine how I’ll walk in the heat in the summer. Fear. Write how the cream and lactic acid helped?
yes, please tell me some really effective way, because for me this problem has already grown into a complex, the most annoying thing is that I practically don’t shave my legs in winter, because... the hair is transparent and barely noticeable, and even in these rare cases I prefer waxing, and the spots remain the same throughout the year, in the summer I also practically don’t sunbathe, so it’s wildly embarrassing to appear with bare legs.. by the way, it also seems to me that the reason for the appearance is jeans, I just can’t get out of them, and completely changing clothes or style is also somehow not comme il faut... in short, help, good people, I don’t have the strength anymore)
I have dark purulent pimples on my legs. Tell me what to do
They appeared 3 days ago, and I foolishly shaved my legs before the weekend! There were even more blood spots. It’s terrible, of course, but from your discussions and stories I understood one thing: DO NOT SHAVE YOUR LEGS YET. 2) USE A SCRUB. AND 3) MOISTURIZING CREAM. The fucking blades, before you have time to open them, are already dull, although there are not so many hairs on your legs!
Oh, girls, hello everyone.
Well, my problem with irritation has already lasted 3 years, and I just haven’t used different razors, and razors, and shaving creams - nothing helps. Girls, clothes don't matter, I think. because I always wear dresses at home, well, everyone at home is my own, and if you wear skirts or the same dresses when going out, then, of course, (damn, in the heat) you have to wear nylon pants in tan color.
Fuck, consider it, I’ve had red spots with sores for 3 years, it’s terrible. Girls, who tries oil or creams and lactic acid, please tell me if it helps or not.
Nika! and try applying D-panthenol cream, it will help you turn pimples into sores. Well, some kind of oils)
