Have I got ingrown hairs?

Ok so I've been reading up about what ingrown hairs look like, and I think I've got them.. I have small red bumps all down the inner side of my legs below my knees, and they seem to be where hair grows from.



But now I think I have ingrown hairs.. what do I do? Should I avoid shaving for a while, and use hair removal cream instead



(I use it sometimes), or take a break shaving completely?



(I don't really want to because it's summer now, so I don't want to wear tights)

The best way to get rid of ingrown hairs is to exfoliate your legs on a regular basis. You can even just scrub them with a washcloth if you don't have anything to exfoliate with. I don't think you should stop shaving, just exfoliate more (not on days you do shave or it will really aggravate your skin). I think the hair removal cream would be worse than shaving.

i'm just guessing, but in the marines when black guys would get in grown hair on there face they'd be okayed to not shave for a few days...after it starts growing out I'd scrub my skin to help it get out...then once it's out real good then use nair or something...a guys 2 cents worth anyway

hair removal creams like nair would be more beneficial, but you only have ingrown hairs if two hairs are actually growing out of the same spot of skin. And if its just red spots, thats a problem with irirtated skin. probably dryness or a condition called keratosis. (its where protiens build up on the hair bases causing you to have inflamation, bumps, and sometimes itchyness) a remedy for that is a cream called eucerin
