Skin problems..help?!?!
Question: Skin problems..help?!?
When i moved to England I started shaving my legs regularly, and for the past few months i can see red dots on my thighs. They look like zits. It makes me look dirty and Its awful! I scrub them (sometimes till my legs go red), exfoliate when i can, I've changed razors 3 times, I've tried not shaving for a week to see if it just agrivates them but nothing works!
I don't want my friends in Barbados to see this. I feel awful about my body as it is. Please help, nice answers please, it really upsets me.
Thanks

I know what you mean, they look like zits, but they're actually not, as well as exfoliating, i suggest you use bio oil. Rub this in to your thighs, legs, or anywhere on your body where the skin is uneven, rough, etc. Do this twice a week for a fair amount of time, in fact, use it as a daily moisturiser and you will see a difference within 2 weeks! Make sure you massage it in and take your time with it, it helps with everything, cellulite, bumps, stretch marks, whatever the issue may be, it's not very expensive, and can be purchased an any drug store, pharmacy etc. It doesn't work perfectly for everyone, but it certainly doesn't do anything to make your skin worse, definitely worth a try, it worked just fine for me, and i think it will help you in some way. Best of luck and have a great holiday-just be confident! :)
So don't shave, the red zit type things will be you agrivating the skin epidermis with all these harsh chemicals, and exfoliating! ouchh, poor skin! you'd be best using hair removal cream or waxing, then you don't get this rash/spot thing, make sure you wash your legs with warm water, soap and then cool water after shaving (if you must shave) pat them dry, do not rub (this will irritate them more!) and perhaps get some fresh air on them, walking round the house in shorts for a couple of days should do it, also when you go abroad get them in the sun for a day before you see your friends, the sun is sure to heal them (and the sea) If you are seriously worried, go to the doctors, they may be able to give you some creams to help speed it up, or at least some further advice. Try mosturising too, and if all else fails get a fake tan, it may cover them? Xx
