I have strawberry legs (large, rough dark hair follicles). I do not shave so they are not a result of poor shaving habits. I know laser removal will remove the hairs, but will it smooth and lighten the follicle? My legs are rough to the touch and many people believe I have goosebumps when they see my legs. The raised bumps are dark and some of them resemble blackheads. The bumps get rougher and darker the further up my thighs you go.
