Pimples on legs.

[Bouncer]

Just wanted your guys thoughts.

I have these pimples that keep appearing on my legs. Mostly on the front of my quads and hamstrings. Some of them are deep and purple and some are just little red ones. Sometimes I actually have to pop them with a slin pin. Sounds nasty I know. Is this because I inject in my quads and that is the reason for the pimples? Is it the oil in my leg that is causing this or is it some kind of skin infection?

i ge tthme too mostly afte ri jsut ge toff sum shit but they always have straggelers liek oens thsat pop up months after and yes they are big red oens that wont come to a head and they hur tliek amutha to tyr and pop

Got nothing to do with injecting in the quads....it's likely because your pants rub on the front of the quads and hams the most, stimulating the sebaceous glands to produce oil...thus the zits. Hit the problem areas with rubbing alcohol after showers...that oughta dry your skin out.

do you use a straight razor to shave your legs or do you use clippers to just keep it trimmed. when I shave I get ingrown hairs which are confused with zits. so i just trim the hair down but don't shave it.

I agree with hitman ..I dont get them and I hit the quads all the time ....But I didnt know you shaved your legs ..That might have something to do with it as well...I dont shave mine so I dont know .....

You're too young to start having problems.....unless you are doing some crazy shit to bring stuff on. I just turned 39 and feel great most of the time so don't worry, you got alot of time before you have to worry about major health issues. ;)

usually just clippers but i always spray oil on my legs before i clip them to keep the clippers from slowing down. i actually havent shaved my legs in about 2 months though. would ingrown hair still be comming up?

Are you normally very hairy, moderately hairy, or light haired?

Just be careful witrh the steroid use. Cycle off and on and give your body a break. I know you already know to do this though, right?

Being that you have thicker, more coarser hair, you will get various levels of growth from you shaving at different times. You probably are still getting some growth coming out after 2 months. Try scrubbing the area real good with a loofah when you shower and that should bring those little stubborn hairs out from curling back and causing ingrowns.
