What are the black dots on my legs?

does anyone else get them?? they're like black dots on my legs where hair grows..
whats the best way to shave to avoid them? or just completely get rid of them? I use shaving cream and a new razor eveytime I shave.. whats wrong??

oh my friend gets them 2 but its not serious is just that your hair is thick

i have one on my leg too, its been there since i was born and its fine to shave over, just dont cut it open. their perfectly normal and blend in with frecles. P.S its a wart

I used to have them, they look terrible, and it looks like you havent shaved, anyways I've been going to the salon to get my legs waxed and now can't even see them.
The problem with shaving is that you are only cutting the hairs, but when wax they are pulled from the root, NEVER SHAVE AGAIN ! because the black dots will come back, also after you wax when they start growing try to pull as many as you can with tweezers and then wax.
I hope it works for you, I know how it feels, and this totally worked for me.
Good Luck

I have the same darn problem. I HATE IT! girlfriend I feel your pain. I shave every 2 days to get good lenght in hair , which helps some of the problem with the black dot syndrom tehee! I am italian and we italians have thick hair , so basicly I am geneticly disposed to this problem. My advice try to shave less often it does help a little to minimise the appearance of the dreaded black dot syndrome as I would like to call it. You will still have the black dots, but not quite as many due to the fact that your letting your hair get long enough so that the razor can actually grab most of the hair and root along with it, also use good sensitive shaving cream and lather well. I hope this helps you.

The black dots on your legs are from shaving . The best way to get rid of 'em is to apply lemon juice before shaving . let your legs soak in hot water before shaving because its opens up your pores , which'll help even MORE ! I have the same problem girly , but we all gotta go thru this / !
