i need help .... ingrown hair on legs!!

ok...this might sound gross. i've been shaving my legs the same way as long as i could remembered. for the last 2-3 months , 2 days after my shave, my legs would get very itching. i know it's not b/c it's dry cuz i always put lotion on afterward. soooo...i look down and noticed that i have ingrown hair!! which is probably causing my legs to itch sooo bad!!

does anyone have this problem? or can anyone recommend something to stop the ingrown hair!!! it's so itchy i can't stand it

Loofah your legs every time you shower. Coax those hairs out.

You can also try that Bikini Zone cream that's made for ingrowns in the bikini area too....

i had hairs growing under the skin on my legs and you could really see it. so i went so far as to getting a needle and a tweezer and taking them out that way. they did not come out any other way.

i use a loofah in the shower.

i have had ingrowns so bad ive had to go to the derm to have them removed.

you may want to visit the derm and tell him/her your problem. they might have something to help you.

good luck.

thanks girls..

i'll try the loofah first. if that doesn't work, i'll have to go to the derm.

I use a body scrub and it seems to work and soften the skin.
