What are these bumps on my legs?

I have little bumps that look like acne on my legs fron my knee upwards and occasionally on my buttocks.





They look like acne. I can pop them and pus comes out. It don't think it's fron shaving my legs because even if I don't shave I get them. Sometimes even more so them when I go shaved. They don't itch. They don't seem to be ingrown hair. And they tend to appear more in summer than in winter.





I know it is NOT keratosis Pelosis.





Thanks.. Please help!

They may be ingrown hairs--I get something similar--although you say they don't seem to be. Try moisturizing with a water (not oil)-based moisturizer. They also could appear more from sweating, if you wear pants often in the summer, for example. What I've learned from personal experience with weird skin issues is keeping skin clean, moisturized, and well-ventilated is usually the best policy, except in cases of extreme medical problems.
Reply:maybe your allergic to the kind of cream you shave with

Reply:Ingrown hairs.
Reply:Could be any number of things. But very well may be just clogged pores, like the acne people get on thier faces. Try exoliating, cleansing and moisturizing. If that does not work you might want to consult your doctor or a dermotologist.
