I have developed li'l black bumps all over my legs. They don't seem to go away even after waxing. It looks like hair has curled itself back into the skin. (Eww!) What can I do to get rid of it?

I would go see your doctor or a Dermatologist.

It sounds like you have a bunch of ingrown hairs on the back of your legs. Both shaving and waxing can do that. You should exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells and try to help the hair come up, BUT since you have so many I would follow Lydia's advice and go to a derm to have him get rid of them and disinfect the area. Please do not try doing it at home because it can lead to infections. Also try to get an appointment soon because untreated ingrown hairs can cause infections, boils, and pain depending on how bad they are. Once you get them taken care of by your derm, to prevent them in the future you can make sure to exfoliate your legs a couple times a week. I also like using a toner or lotion with a chemical exfoliant (like AHA or BHA) on the area. Hope this helps!!
