Why do i have hairy legs??


So i was born as a hairy person...not like "manly" hairy but a little more than average girls...girls have no hair..i have some. My legs are CRAZY....hair will grow literally 24 hours from when i last shave and when i do - you can see the HAIR FOLLICE so it looked like i never shaved at all YET when you touch it, it's smooth and you don't feel hair sticking out.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? Do i have some sort of leg/hair disorder?? and they're always itchy...so the bumps will multiply and make scars making my legs look "hairy" and "scarred"
Any solutions??

wear long pants?

me hairy too- think of it as skin protection. You can always stop shaving and gross everyone out- that's the route I have chosen. Or get a really good razor and quality shave cream. Or if worse comes to worse have them waxed.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It sounds like you're irritating your skin when you shave, maybe even creating ingrown hairs. Make sure you're using enough shaving cream, and don't shave too hard or too fast either, and of course make sure you're not using a really dull blade. You can buy special moisturizers that make your leg hairs grow thinner and lighter, and will help smooth out your skin so it won't get irritated from being shaved.

hair is always growing and the more u shave, teh more that grows back. its life. so if its a real problem, u should be talking to a dermatologist about ur issue, or u can go to an electrolosist ( ithink i spelled that right) and get the hairs rmoved by laser which costs a lot of money.

... because you're a mammal...

Let it grow in -- it'll stop your skin being irritated by shaving.

The most feminine girls have no hair on their legs, but most American girls have quite a bit, so you're not abnormal -- you've probably got a very typical level of male hormones for a girl.
