Have Black Dots On Legs After Shaving And Tiny Dots That Come Off On Scratching. Remedy?
um, hey, I have these random things forming on my legs after shaving, they're like black dots that start off really small, but then like grow. And I also have these really tiny dots all over my legs that come off when I scratch them, there's many of them. So, well, what is this? It's weird, and it's freaking me out to be honest. Thanks

Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
It look like folliculitis .
It is hair root infection and very common after hair removal.
You must be very careful while removing hair.
You must shave hair depend upon the direction of the hair.
You can use other alternate method for hair removal .
LASER hair removal is the permanent way to get rid of the condition.
You should apply antibiotic cream over it.
In severe case you need to take oral antibiotic medicine also.
Please do not scratch or popped the lesion as it will leave behind spot.
It is better to consult dermatologist for proper treatment.
I hope I answered your question.
Regards
