How To Get Rid Of Black Spots Present On Legs?

black spots left after shaving/waxing
whenever i try any form of hair removal on my legs im left with tiny black dots covering them, where the hairs originally were. I have tried everything, waxing, shaving, hair removal cream, nothing seems to work. I also exfoliate my legs, but this too does not seem to help, it really effects my confidence and im desperate for a cure!

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM,
Tiny black dots covering hair follicle is mainly due to chronic folliculitis of leg.
Alternatively Lichen amyloidosis also presents in this manner. Lichen Amyloidosis occurs due to chronic rubbing and scratching. Protein degeneration occurs and deposited under the skin.
Get yourself examined by dermatologist for confirmation of disease and treatment. Alternatively you may also contact us with photograph and get specialist opinion.
