Many women end up dealing with dark pores on their legs. They look a bit like dark spots, and because they look a bit like the spots found on strawberries, some people refer to them as “strawberry legs.” If you have an olive or light skin tone, then those dark spots really look noticeable on your legs. Medically, these pores are known as “open comedones.” They occur when open pores become plugged with bacteria, oil and dirt. When air reaches the pores, the oil in the pores reacts with the oxygen, making the pores turn black or very dark.
In many cases, women notice that these dark pores show up right after shaving. If you’re using a dull razor, it may pull at the leg hair without removing the follicle completely, which may cause the dark pores. The opening for the hair follicle may become packed with dead skin cells and oil. You can stop shaving to eliminate this problem.
