Spotty Legs - Bit grim

[S10GTA]

Waiting for ridicule, but here goes anyway.

This has been going on for some time, but for some reason my legs have become quite spotty. Its mostly thigh area, but sometimes around the knee caps. I ride to work daily (same shorts for the return journey) along with other rides during the week, making about 10/12hrs a week but I never wear the bibs for more than one day. I don't shave my legs.

Any suggestions on what I can do to counter this? It's quite unsightly, and annoying me now. Obviously I scrub them when I shower each evening.

Scrubbing might be the problem. I'd swap to a gentle soap initially and stop with all that scrubbing.

Yes, definitely stop scrubbing.

A mild benzoyl peroxide gel might also help. Be careful though - it will bleach your clothes.

And your best bloody towels, my daughters have used this stuff in the past

Are they spots or ingrown hairs?

I get the odd mark on the side of my thighs up near my bum area and it's always an ingrown hair, think they get rubbed away by my bib shorts then can't break back through the skin.

Start shaving your legs?

Drop the anabolic dose.
