Are you pregnant?
For some reason, when I’m pregnant, I get tons of ingrown hairs on my legs

Red. Its from the hair base.

Like instead of hair its just loads of dots where the hair is from...does anyone know what I mean?

Are they just bumps? I have that all the time. It really started bothering me. I just bought First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G.....share
I haven't tried it yet, but you could also try exfoliating with a loofah or washcloth.

I have the exact same thing!
It really bothers me.
Do you have red bumpy dots on your upper arms and legs, well?
Because if yes, it may be keratosis pilaris.

I used to need to shave every day or two in the summer and then I would get the dots. I think the skin was irritated. I did laser and I now have smooth hairless legs and no dots

Thanks for all the replies.

Yes I shave in the shower always.

Yesterday I used a shaving gel which I never ever use.
But I have no irritation.

So many people get that when they shave.
I wonder why you never noticed it until now?

A pa on Instagram that I follow posted that that happens when you don't shave the direction that the hair grows in. I know I shave bottom up, otherwise I can't get the hair off. And I get those red circles.

Try tend skin. It helped me a little, but the best was doing laser. My legs now look almost like a photoshopped ad lol
