This can be improved with laser hair removal. It will take a series of treatments. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

This is most likely inflammation that occurs in hair follicles and ingrown hairs. I advise you to make an appointment with board certified dermathologist to help you treat this issue. I believe that laser hair removal as well as exfoliation would improve this. Good luck!

Thanks for the question and the photo.  You need to have a consultation with a board certified dermatologist who can work with you on treating the inflammation that is showing on your legs.  This can be due to ingrown hairs or it can be as a result of the trauma from your shaving and waxing.  A derm will be able to examine this and prescribe the right medicines for you.
