    Hair Follicles Discoloration
    Okay I hope I am using the right terms but I have a problem with my hair follicles just where the hair grows out of the skin, it is darker than the skin that surrounds it. It just around my legs and I want to shave my legs more often (or wax) but I find it annoying to have these tiny spots all over them (compared to other parts that don't have that problem) is there way I can even my skin tone for my whole leg area. Oh before I forget I had these spots from a very young age (wont say all my life though)

    I find topical creams often must be applied only to the area of the discoloration, but can you imagine how long it will take me each day to do that for every follicle on my legs (much less having to do it twice daily). Is there any pills or topical treatment that can be applied all over, to even out overall skin tone, without lightening my skin all over, but to attacking the spots that have too much melanin production? I mean I love my skin tone so really don't want to lighten it, I just want to even it out.

    But if it going to lighten hopefully it is minimal, I want to even out, not get lighter and still have the spots there.

    And hey, if your suggestion works help even out darkened joints and on unexplainable blotches even better.:cool:

Dark hair follicles? [ 1 Answers ]

My legs are dotted with little spots where the hair follicles are. I shave my legs, so I am guessing that the little spots is the hair below the skin surface in the follicle.
