Dark Spots After Shaving: Causes & Solutions for Teenagers


Question
My daughter is 14 years old she has been shaving for 2 years. she is very concerned  because she has dark spots on her legs..  how does she get rid of this problem?

Answer
Hello Maria,

Welcome to All Experts.

As I can't see her legs, hope you don't mind if I ask some questions about your daughter.

Has she...

- used depilatories, creams or waxes on her legs recently?
- Is she on any medication?
- How large are the spots? Do they eventually fade away? or are they still there?
- What is her diet like? Is she drinking 8 glasses of water daily?
- Has she been in the tanning booth? out in the sun?
- is she under a lot of stress? (hopefully not)


If you can send me a picture - that could help as well.

I'm also concerned and I will do what I can to help here.

In the meantime, please have her drink plenty of water and apply aloe vera or Vitamin E directly on the skin. These two items are soothing :)

Look forward to your reply - Once I see the answers to the questions above, I will be able to help you further. Please try to be as detailed as possible. The more information the better :)

Warmly,
Elaine
