What is the difference between ingrown hairs and keratosis pillaris? What do I have?
I have noticed that many people especially African Americans have these dark/black dots on their legs. I have this too, which is why I don't where shorts. I shave using Nair and I have used the product called Prince Reigns, but my skin is still bumpy. My skin doesn't hurt and it is a little red in these pore areas. I have had this condition for years. I read on the Internet that this sort of thing appears during puberty and that about 80% of Americans have it. Do I have ingrown hairs or keratosis pillaris? Is there a cure so that I can have smooth skin like lighter-skinned people and be able to wear shorts w/o people asking me what's wrong with my legs? Thanks. Will rate high if answer is good.
