Answer 1

ok. this is gonna sound crazy, but it wont hurt trust me.

Take a lighter and burn ur hair off. Dont burn urself, but its not hard to keep from burning yourself, and if you do, it will stop hurting in a minute of two. Trustme it will work.

The pimples are razor burn. Put an astringent on it and it will go away.

If your afraid to use the lighter or it doesnt work, then try waxing it.

PS: PLEEASE dont burn urself, but i do know someone who did this with their leg hair, and it worked.

God bless,
Shane

Answer 2

LOL.... I'm sorry darling, the outcomes of exploration are not always comfortable or attractive :) But, alas, I'm sure we can figure out a way for you to cope through the grow back period.
First, gently exfoliate the area shaved. Next, moisturize with a facial cream which does NOT have ANY fragrance as this may irritate your skn and make matters worse.
In a few days time the pimples will go away, they may leave quicker. In the meantime, wear a long sleeve shirt and keep your skin clean.
It'll pass quick and no one has X ray vision to see under your clothing :)
Wear a long sleeve shirt under your gym uniform as well. It'll be ok!!!

Answer 3

First of all, you haven't done anything that many other young women have done, in an attempt to beautify themselves.

Don't panic.

There are many things you can do to lessen the look of the arm hair, and the first thing you might try is dabbing a bit of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball, then wiping your arm with it. Then, blow dry on a warm setting.

Secondly, you might want to try a bleach created for facial hair. It lightens the appearance of dark hairs that appear on women above their upper lips.

Thirdly, don't panic. Don't be embarrassed. We all do things that seemed like a good idea at the time... and we all make mistakes. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll be a much stronger person for doing it and you'll find that this is just a minor minor thing in the grand scheme of things.

Good luck, Sweetie!

OMG i totally kno how u feel like rite now (i am 13 yrs old). 2 yrs ago i was pluckin my eyebrows when i suddenly had this "brilliant" idea to just shave it- it would probaly make the process faster and less painfull. well, the next thing i knew, i only had one and a half eyebrows on my face. and it was on a wednesday. the next day i had to go to school. i tried using a eye liner pencil to cover it up, but it just look ridiculous. eventually, i just learned how to walk around w/ one and a half eyebrows (and trust me it wasnt easy). my advice to you: if you r willing to do this for the rest of your life, keep shaving it off and waxing it. but your arm hair will keep getting thicker. or just face the fact that you did somethin stupid and there's nothin else you can do about it- its the past! u cant change the past (im sorry i sound so heartless rite now). trust me- if i got through half a school year w/ one and a half eyebrows, im sure you can go through a short period of time w/ thick arm hair. *hug hug* good luck!

Answer 5

Wear long sleeves inside and short sleeves outside, say you want to feel comfortable playing volleyball.
OR
You can put lotion on it, to smoothen it a bit
OR
You can just tell your best friend and ask her advise
OR
You use shaving cream, the medicated ones that some girls use on legs (I do) It doesnt shave off the hairs completely but it does make it less hairy.
AND
You should also tell your parents...maybe your allergic to wax????

Answer 6

aww, it's not that bad! I used to shave my arms when I was younger and I had those pimple things, but they go away. The hair looks thick now, but it won't look that way in a month or so. If you're light skinned, go to the store and get some bleach (like that jolene bleach). It should make the hair lighter.

Answer 7

Oh no that is so sad.. but really, you can't do anything but shave or wax or use hair removal lotion for now, save yourself.. AND when weekend comes go straight to your dermatologist(Do you have one? If you don't you must) and have them ALL lasered off. after a few sessions they will be gone forever. But there are some people that say it does grow back, but really, it depends on the person. Anyway, just go get them lasered off again if ever they come back, and sooner or later they wont be able to come back ever.. Good luck.

Answer 8
