I’ve had this for decades- been to 2 dermatologists with little to no relief. The first looked at the skin and said, “ooh, nasty”. Never went back. The second sold me a niacin cream and told me to use 10% benzoyl peroxide in the shower.
When I was younger, the pores/follicles would get so infected they would become boils and carbuncles.
I easily get ingrown hairs, despite exfoliating, and now blackheads are starting to develop lower on my thighs.
I’ve not had a diagnosis, but I think it’s a version of HS. Any ideas?
