I keep getting these little black dots all over my legs! Even if I get rid of my leg hair, they're still there. And it's embarrassing because from a distance it looks like I haven't shaved my legs. How do I get rid of them? I've heard laser hair removal helps, but that's not really an option for me because I'm only 15.

Did you try waxing or using like Nair?

I have the same problem. they don't go away when you wax, but shaving makes them worse. I looked it up, its because your skin is sensitive (I react to Nair too). I haven't found anything that makes it better except over the years they've gotten lighter with waxing. if I find out anything new I'll be sure to let you know!

I break out from any shaving lotions etc. I now either use baby oil on my legs then shave or I just water my legs and shave. Only way for I don't get anything

It may be apart of your genetics. I went to a dermatologist and they told me it was some skin condition.

Those are probably your hair folicles.. I have them too :C
I used to be self conscious about them because it really did look like I didn't shave so I just did show off my legs.
I read about them online and I could only find that the solution to getting rid on them forever is laser hair removal (expensive and pain)
I found that our so then I tried waxing... Not too bad but it just helped reduce the potential of more dots. I soaked then in hot water , but loads of mosturizres on, and tried not to shave and grow the hair out but nothing worked for me
I just accepted it , and I couldn't honestly care less about what others said really
And even if you're really self conscious wear skin/black coloured tights or leggings with shorts/skirts/dresses...
I dunno , just my story with these stupid hair folicles.
Research more about them online and see where you get! If you get anymore solutions be sure to tell me on here!! :* <3

Try exfoliating before and after you shave. the black dots will begin to fade and you'll actually stay smoother longer :)
