I have these dots (red) and ingrown hairs on my legs, after years of hair removal (shaving, waxing, you name it). It's really annoying- even after waxing, I still have them and some of them are actually scars from having picked at them beforehand, which I know I shouldn't do. What are some effective ways of getting rid of red dots and ingrown hairs? if you happen to be of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern descent--or otherwise hairy background, you know what I'm talking about :P (link)
I hope when you shave you are using shaving cream. You should also use after shave cream. I have uses a brand called skintimate. It's available in drugstores. They make them for women now. There is also a product called bikin zone(available at drug stores) but I've used it on my legs to sooth those bumbs.
After you wax you should use aloe vera or baby oil.
I know it sounds gross but in the winter when you don't wear skirts you can go a week or two without shaving or waxing. Your skin will appreciate it. Have you ever tried a hair removal cream? After you use the hair removal cream there is usually a soother in the same package.
Now that I'm an adult I've seen a dr. for laser hair removal and it's the best thing I could have done.
