I wax my body but on my legs after waxing i still have these small dark spots. can i get rid of them ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair follicles: Those dark spots are the hair follicles: the tiny holes that the hairs grow out of. After you remove the hair, the follicle is still alive, and starts to grow a new hair. The holes/follicles remain, and that is the dark spot you see.
