Blackheads and ingrowns on legs?

how do you get rid of them? i have ingrowns and blackheads all over my legs!Blackheads and ingrowns on legs?
i have the EXACT same problem!! If you shave your legs try to get waxed coz thts much better for you.. and make sure you exfoliate properly.. buy a pumice stone and use it in the shower like a loofah! It really helps..! i aslo suggest you dont use the tweezer on your legs at all.. coz that just makes it worse. You can also use products such as gels available to remove ingrowth's and black heads! You can buy them on amazon.. this is the one that i have and it really helped me! For your black heads use neutrogena body scrub wash.. it'll also be good for your ingrowths as it is exfoliating..Blackheads and ingrowns on legs?
I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.


Here is a link :

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.





There is some support groups at MSN

and yahoo, and I am open for questions!


I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don鈥檛 have to wait as long as I did.
Ouch! Sounds bad...make sure you exfoliate the are with an oil free product.
I have this issue - so annoying! Especially cos my hairs are so dark! If its the odd one I just squeeze it out (gross I know!)..but yeh really you should be using a body scrub in the shower regularly to help exfoliate. Or use a loofah. Hope that helps!
