Need of an answer!?

Question

I have little hair bumps on my legs and I don't shave. I've had them on there since I was seven. They are little bumps-just on my legs- that if i squeeze them, something black comes out. I am really ashamed. I just wanna know what they are and how can I get rid of them? It was something that just happened- I didnt have it when I was a baby though. I heard it mostly only occurs in black ppl. I really just wanna know. Thanks!

Um, I just wanted to let ya'll know that the doctor said it was ok that I shouldnt worry about it. And its not dirt or anything like that. I guess it just a condition. Trust me, I take baths/ showers! Lol. :)

Answer 1

well it normal i have them to

Answer 2

I'm not a doctor or anything but it sounds like you maybe have some dirt or something that gets into your hair follicals. You should try some oxy bar soap. Use it in the shower with some hot water because that opens the pores and lets dirt and bacteria out easily. I hope this helps, but if it doesn't work, maybe you should get it checked out, hope you get rid of them.

Answer 3

Could be black heads, could be ingrown hairs. And the bumbs you think black people get, those are from shaving, called shaving bumps, and anyone with a thick beard gets them.

Answer 4

Never heard of them. Why haven't you gone to the doctor if you have had them for so many years?

Black stuff should NEVER come out of any place on your body. No matter what your skin color is.
