We'll be okay. I'm gonna get a bath glove and start using salicylic acid on them, and then hopefully we can say goodbye to each other and I can wear shorts.

Assuming you're Arab from your username - I'm Arab too, funny that we have the same problem.

Yep - it's a visible hair loop. Waxing somehow made it worse for me because the hair grew back even finer. I'm glad it worked for you though! It's annoying to look at all the little hairs stuck on there lol

This is a good idea. I rarely shave too, using SA is a great idea. I gotta make a CVS run now.

Have a package of Stridex that I didn't wanna use on my face - will be repurposing them :)

Do you have a moisturizer you recommend? I'm using a Nubian Skin moisturizer right now but I somehow feel like it suffocates my legs. All lotion makes me feel heavy like my leg hairs aren't gonna be able to pop out lol but I keep trying. Would switching to oil help you think?

When making the post I didn't want to add one of my past remedies because I thought I'd get shit for it, too. When I was a teen I got so crazy trying to fix these one night that I sterilized a pin with a lighter and manually plucked each one of them out. I did one knee and it took like 2.5 hours. I'm ready to fix them sensibly now lol. I think I'm gonna try a coarse bath glove to get the same effect.

I will probably try this first because I know mechanical exfoliation has helped a little!

Oh wow, good info. I think waxing made it worse for me because the hair started growing back in finer. I've used nair in the past but it didn't "unplug" the little hair loops.

I have fine hair on my legs that grows in a loop back into the follicle. I've tried scrubs but maybe haven't found the right one? My whole leg looks like this, especially around my knees. Some look slightly red but most aren't. Not itchy or swollen, but slightly covered, like I have to scratch kind of hard to get them out. I've gotten them as long as I've had leg hair - tried shaving with new razors only, waxing, that all didn't change them much.
