LoveToKnow Hair:AllComments

Hi Candi, If any bacteria entered the pores it could be causing the irritation and dark spots. You could try a gentle exfoliation of the area. Also, since our skin does change over time, it's possible the skin in that area has become more sensitive to tweezing although you've done it for some time. For more information, you may want to visit LoveToKnow Skin Care.

I have been tweezing my chin for some years, and now on both sides of my chin there are multiple little bumps and my skin looks a little darker in that area. Any recommendations on how to clear this up?

Danielle - First, be sure the tweezers are clean and sterile before and after each use; you could unintentionally be causing small infections. Also, be sure you are pulling out the entire hair -- if it is actually just breaking off below the skin, the remaining hair can cause an infection. The red dots can be a pain reaction, so consider icing the area before you tweeze and apply a soothing lotion (preferably one with aloe) afterwards.
