Any idea what I can do? I've tried loofahs, scrubs, body lotions with acids, waxing, Veet, shaving, Lumea, the list is endless! The Lumea got rid of the hair and I assumed it would also get rid of these spots on my calves but no!

You could try Ameliorate lotion it apparently is brilliant for bumpy skin! You can get it in M&S as well as other places.

Yes, Ameliorate or REN smart renewal aha body serum

It helps with keratosis pilares

I have KP all over my legs. They don’t tan either so fake tanning ends up looking awful. I’ve tried everything and the best thing is sympathy for the skin by lush. It takes a week or so of applying everyday and it doesn’t go completely but it’s defo worth giving it a go.

Thanks, I'll try Ameliorate. I've used Palmers with AHA in the past but it has a very off putting scent.

Yes, the REN one is less smelly

I put a nice smelling cream on a bit later, normally

(Or aha based one in the evening, and a nicer one next morning)

Shave in the shower about 1/2 way thru, use a good sugar scrub with a really good oil moisturizer in it that you can feel. Rub wherever you shave lightly (careful down there)...don't scrub the crap out of it, let the scrub do it's thing...splash your areas with water... I leave a little there and then grab my fresh Harry's mens razor (the BEST) and get a surprisingly close, clear shave and it's smooth like a babies butt! Lmk...I know I'm late but I assume you still shave 😄
Also, of it's on the back of your calf or back of your upper arms, I've heard that it's your clothing rubbing on the hair follicles and it's something to do with the pores. I could be so wrong also...haha! Ask Google!

Why would you reply 5 YEARS later?! Is this an ad for Harry’s razors?
