What are Strawberry Legs?

These blackheads on the skin of strawberries are called “strawberry” because of the red skin and blackheads that look like the seeds of a strawberry. And this term has become popular among girls and on social networking sites, but in reality they are:

1. The hair follicles formed under the skin.
2. Bacteria.
3. Oil accumulated under the skin.
4. Dead skin.

When the pores are exposed and the air reaches these oils, they oxidize and turn dark.

To better understand how to treat and prevent spotted, blotchy, and bumpy skin, you first need to know what causes it!

What causes strawberry legs?

Most girls today suffer from strawberry legs. It has become one of the most frequent occurrences on social media, as it has made some girls look down on themselves and control their choice of clothes. For some girls and women, strawberry legs have become a nightmare.

So honey, you need to know what you are doing to get those blackheads appearing on your leg.

#1 Shaving

It has become a trend!

Yes... among teenage girls, it has become one of the main methods of hair removal after shaving!

Unfortunately, this method is not healthy at all. Shaving with old or insufficiently serrated razors, or using them without shaving cream can cause these blackheads to appear.

Constant use of these razors also causes hair to grow under the skin. In some cases, these black pimples are just hairs growing under the skin, and this often happens in people who have thick hair.

#2 Clogged Pores

The skin on your legs contains thousands of pores. These are small openings in the skin that allow oils and sweat to pass through.

These pores can become clogged with bacteria, dead skin, and oils. When these elements inside the pores are exposed to the air, they oxidize and turn into those annoying black spots.

#3 Folliculitis

One of the reasons for the appearance of strawberry skin is folliculitis. It is a common skin disease in which the hair follicles become inflamed. And it has become common among teenage girls due to their heavy use of razors.

At first, they are red and small in size or white blisters around the hair follicles. But beware, darling, you need to treat it immediately, because the infection can spread and turn into scabby sores that won't heal. It can also lead to the dark skin tone associated with strawberry-shaped legs.

#4 keratosis pilaris

Keratosis pilaris is a common, harmless skin condition that causes dry, rough patches and small bumps.

In a very short time, its shape changes to look like little pimples, goosebumps, or "strawberries", which are rough and hard to touch.

#5 Excessively dry skin

Severe dry skin is also one of the causes of strawberry legs. If your skin is dry and you shave, it will irritate the skin, which will suffer from burns and inflammation due to shaving, which will lead to the appearance of strawberry-shaped legs.
