“Make sure to shave in the direction of the hair or with the grain to minimize irritation and the potential for ingrown hairs, and ensure your skin is damp,” Garshick said. “It is also important to use a shaving cream to minimize friction and use a razor that is sharp. If the blade is dull, it can increase the chance of irritation.”

I see my strawberry legs as a bit of a superpower. When my friends complained about shaving their legs, I could proudly proclaim that I hadn’t used a razor in months. But then months turned into years—and when my sister finally mentioned that the name for the little brown dots where my leg hair should be was “strawberry legs," their appearance started making more sense. Though I’d never seen a brown strawberry before, the hair follicles resembled seeds. Knowing there was a term for them helped it feel normal. I also learned how to treat them. Below, learn more. What are strawberry legs? “It's just those tiny little dots that appear with hyperpigmentation that represent either hair follicles, shaved hairs, or keratin that's been exposed to air and gets oxidized,” explains No matter how much I may have wanted that even, smooth complexion, the prominence of hair follicles on my legs keeps that from being a reality. They start appearing when puberty arrives and hair starts to grow. Of course, that was perfectly timed with my pre-teen insecurities, and the subsequent Nair-ing of my legs. It can also show up for men, women, and anyone who “That is the scientific name for hair bumps and razor bumps,” Hartman says. “Folliculitis is actually the inflammation of the follicle that can come from sweat, heat, and overgrowth of bacteria. It can be exacerbated by shaving.” How can you treat strawberry legs? Folliculitis can’t be cured, but the inflammation can be kept under control by Ex...

There is an airborne virus circulating through the world right now, which I would say is enough to be insecure about. In apocalyptic times like these, the last thing I'm thinking of is how my cleanly shaved legs look — especially since I haven't been shaving them as often. But one afternoon, scrolling down my Twitter feed, I, for the first time in decades, was compelled to think about the appearance of my legs. I came upon a Tweet that included a pair of close-up photos of strawberry legs like me," the person wrote, adding a cute-eyes emoji to the post. "Strawberry legs?" I said. "Now, what in the world?" The image of Beyoncé's legs revealed tiny little dark spots where her hair follicles are. They're a feature I noticed about my legs when I started shaving them as a pre-teen and I hadn't thought much about them since. At the time, the legs that I saw in the media were typically airbrushed and smoothed into one uniform color. This was the early 2000s, so you know there was nary a nick, a scratch, or a scar in sight. But after looking around at my classmates and noticing that almost everyone had tiny pores on their freshly shaven legs, I moved on. I never thought of it again — that is, until I saw this Tweet. I have to admit, my lizard brain almost immediately went to "Is this something I need to worry about now?" But after reading it again, I got the impression that the original poster wasn't trying to express there was anything wrong with your legs looking like this. Inde...

A quick Google search of “strawberry legs”—dark-looking Folliculitis “There are a few things that could be causing this,” Santa Monica, CA dermatologist Karyn Grossman, MD, explains, adding that something called folliculitis could be a culprit after having shaved or New York dermatologist Another possibility could be a medical term known as open comedones, which means that the pore is wide open and filled with excess skin debris, oil and bacteria that leave your pores looking darker than they should, says Dr. Grossman. Using a dull razor that pulls at the hair without completely removing the follicle can also cause this, as the follicle can open and become clogged and blocked with oil and dead skin cells. To treat folliculitis, Dr. Russak suggests in-office chemical peels to exfoliate dead skin, unclog pores, kill bacteria in pores and lighten pigmentation on the affected areas. Keratosis Pilaris Dr. Russak says the second type of “strawberry legs” is actually keratosis pilaris, or KP. “Keratosis pilaris is a genetic condition where keratotic plugs are present around hair follicles,” she explains. “Keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle, and the plugs create patches of rough, bumpy skin.” To treat KP, Dr. Russak suggests using Post-Tan Trouble If your spots and enlarged pores tend to creep up post-tan, Dr. Grossman says that this is because tanning creams work by staining the upper layers of the skin. “If someone has a thickening of the ski...
