Yes very interesting. See I have had bad acne in places on my body in the past, such as my shoulders and chest and it got so bad that it left scars. Well granted then I never did go to the doctor to get any of that prescribtion type stuff I just used what I could buy off the shelf.

Well now it has gone to my legs:cry: :( . This time around I figured I would go see a doctor about it and guess what he told me to try first before getting those expensive prescriptions! He told me to try and keep my legs shaved and use my acne medication and that it should clear it up. He said something about the oils found in the hair and yadda yadda. I pretty much stopped listening after he said keep the shaved:bs:

Anyways, just thought that I would share.

That's a fantastic excuse - I'm writing that one down! I can see it now:

Nosey Person: Why on earth are your legs shaved? You're a MAN!!!!
Kate W: Because the doctor said I had to, to get rid of acne scars.
Nosey Person: But you haven't got acne scars.
Kate W: Exactly!
Nosey Person: Oooooh...


Genius!

I had the opposite problem. I had a bit of a surgery on the top of my legs in the back and during the recovery, I shaved the area for bandage purposes. I decided to do both legs completely so I didn't have a weird patch of hairless area. Great excuse by the way. Anyways, I'm not used to shaved legs and I think I irritated them with my razor. They got really itchy and I got a nasty set of rashes on them. My doctors (GP and a dermatologist) both told me to hold off on shaving them. My derm actually told me that shaving is bad and I should "clip" the hair. I took that as use an electric razor and that is what I've been using. She told me that waxing was even worse. That said, it is MUCH easier to put lotion on my legs now that they are hairless.
