If you have not shaved your legs in a month, I would almost think that the lumps on your legs are ingrown hairs. I would suggest trying to see if anything comes out of them when you sqeeze them.

As far as shaving goes, try shaving and see what happens.

hi i squeezed them but puss just comes out of them and they are stingy aswell...what do u think it is?

I still think they are ingrown hairs and if you squeeze them hard enough (yes it might hurt) then they should go away.

Ok thanks for your help.
