What Causes Black Spots On Skin After Shaving Legs?
After I shave my legs I can still see black spots & it s like I never even shaved. Have done exfoliation soaking every razor & shave cream available nothing works. Waxing only left me with each pore red instead of black. Is this an issue a dermatologist may be able to help with? Thank you

hi there.
1. your concern may be folliculitis.
2. never shave the hair in wrong direction.
3.it will induce infection in the hair follicles from adjacent normal bacteria present on the normal skin.
4. it may become chronic and tough to treat in the future.
5. plan for diode laser for permanent hair reduction
6. for time being you can try physio ai lotion twice daily on affected areas.
this may help you.
