orphans answered Saturday March 17 2007, 7:24 pm: hey
make sure you use shaving cream! and lots of it. it makes your shave closer without making it drier. i get them on my leg too.
also, after you shower, moisturize. and keep the place moisturized.
if you don't wear shorts or skirts in the winter time (some people need to for gym, etc.) just don't shave. that way, it won't unnecessariily be irritated / dry and it's not like anyone's gonna see it :]
if they don't go away by doing the above listed, then you might consider asking an older female sibling, friend, or other female member of your family about it because they're not going away. they're probably not a big deal, but if youre concerned, feel free.

ElenaHilton answered Saturday March 17 2007, 5:14 pm: Ugh I get those too! My doctor said it may be ecsama (sp?) which is a dry skin condition. So I got prescribed medication lotion. So either moisturize or see your doctor if you are concerned. [ ElenaHilton's advice column | Ask ElenaHilton A Question ]
