Why do my legs look like this? It’s not from shaving because they even look like this if I don’t shave for a while. I’m embarrassed to even wear shorts.

Question

Answer

Fair skin and I'm guessing you have dark hair. I have paper white skin and pitch black hair so I wax my body hair so that you can't see all the little dark spots from the hair root still under the skin.

Answer

It’s the pores filled with the root of the hair that shaving will leave behind. Try waxing.

Answer

it looks like keratosis pilaris

Answer

Please try not to be embarrassed. I have a huge scar from an operation on my leg. It’s part of my history. I actually find it attractive when people have “imperfections”. It is far more interesting than being plastic Barbie. And the more of us who show that we are not ashamed of our differences, the more we inspire others. I know it is easier said than done, though.

Answer

i have it too, i think its because we have such pale, fair skin.

Answer

It’s just pale skin. It’s translucent and it shows the root of the hair under your skin. I have it too it doesn’t bother me too much but when I tan it’s much less noticeable. I also put coconut oil on my legs after I shave and it seems to help a lot. But it doesn’t make it go away. 🤷🏻‍♀️. It’s whatevs

Answer

Same! I think it’s called strawberry legs? I try to not feel insecure about them but I do

Answer

I notice I have that during the seasons where I’m not getting much sun. So when I’m more pale, it’s more noticeable. During summer when I’m more on the tan side, I don’t see them at all. I think they’re pores or where the hair follicle comes from? I could be way off though. I would like to know the answer too!

Answer

The bottom half of my legs look like that, too. I exfoliate but it isn’t helping. I think laser hair removal would make them look better because in my case, my hair is darker and thicker there. I’m also really pale.

Answer

I have the same, I’ve never found out why.
