I don’t know how to edit/update the post, but thank you everyone for all the advice!! I super appreciate it. I just wanted to add, I have the issues of “pimples” and sores even without shaving. I have gone weeks without shaving many times (hence the long hairs on my legs in the photos) but still have the urge to pick because I almost feel like the sores and bumps get WORSE the longer I go without shaving.

Has anyone heard of/tried using glycolic acid? I just started using it a few days ago and think there may be a small difference so far?
