Spots on Legs!

    Hi Guys,

    Not sure if this belongs here so mods feel free to move if I'm in the wrong place! :)

    Kind of weird issue but its getting increasingly annoying seeming as we're coming into summer & I'll be heading off on my hols!
    Basically on my thighs I keep getting small balckhead spots-sounds gross but I don't suffer with spots on any other part of my body even my face!!!(never break out on my face-lucky I guess!):rolleyes: I shower daily etc and am religous regarding moisturising my body etc so I really don't know what could be causing them!!

    Has anyone else ever had this prob?:confused: I want my legs to be all nice and smooth and bikini ready! I initially thought it was my moisturiser so I changed to the palmers body oil....which is really amazing except to when it gets to my thighs!!

    Thanks-sorry if I grossed anybody out..:o

    Are you over moisturising? Do you really need to misturise your thighs?

    Do you exfoliate?

    for a while i used to get some blackheads on my thighs too, have no idea why! dont get them anymore, and not doing anything differently.
    my advice is pretty simple... squeeze the ****ers! then they're gone. Ta-da!!

    Do you shave or wax your legs? It could be small ingrown hairs.

    Thanks for the replies guys!! Much appreciated!!

    Yes, I do exfoliate I use a really nice sugar scrub from Avon yum yum!!! :P I thought at first that it might be ingrown hairs from shaving (because I prefer shaving to waxing-I hate having to leave the hair grow im very impatient!;)) but they are defo black heads!!!hmmmmm weird & pretty annoying!-I suppose I'll just have to do as suggested an squeeze the blighters!!!! Ha Ha :D

    I get random blackheads on my body every now and again. Never two in the same place though. Agree with what vicecreamsundae said and just pop them!

    Could be your diet and need more water :)


    I am sure of you go to a beauticians they would be able to advise you on what to do :)

    Bad idea breaks the skin and later in life the pours on your body become scarred looking.

    I get those white spots on my legs and arm's, think it's called Keratosis (sP??)

    Find this stuff great.
