Mmmmm, I have never shaved above my knees... not that I have much hair there at all anyway, especially not at the back.
I use those exfoliation gloves and they make a tiny bit of a difference. But it's not like they're solving the problem. In fact, they sometimes cause even more irritation.
This is going to seem way out there, but if you've developed skin problems over time that worsen in pregnancy (when your immune system is lowered), I'd say there's another problem at the heart of it.
I'd talk to a naturopath or a doctor about your immune system. The reason I say this, is I developed very bad skin over time. I recently had a hair mineral analysis done and it found I was overloaded with heavy metals like copper and mercury. All of which damage the body. I'm slowly detoxing and my skin is improving. I'd be interested to know if you also have digestive problems, as things like develop with heavy metal poisoning. For example, I'm gluten and dairy intolerant. I may have always been, but it's only recenlty become a noticable problem.
I'd say you're developing extrememly sensitive skin. Get rid of any products full of yukky chemicals - start looking at completely natural, preferably organic products, including household cleaning products.
Otherwise, the thing that stopped ingrown hairs after waxing for me was laser. I know you've already said you can't afford it. I couldn't afford to continue but the 3 sessions I had made a big difference.
Thanks for your input.
And it doesn't seem way out there, what you said. I have considered these things especially when my Psoriasis was at its height.
I developed Psoriasis after moving to Queensland, prompting me to think it could be environmental.
My Psoriasis only worsened during my first pregnancy. Actually it had been getting worse and worse for about a year before that. It has been much better since the 3rd trimester of that first pregnancy. In fact, you could say that late pregnancy healed my psoriasis. I have an incling that the cause for it being so bad was hormonal and that breastfeeding is a good thing for my body. Who knows, maybe prolactin is good against psoriasis?
Also, pustular psoriasis is hereditary in many cases and it does run in my family. I only have a mild case of it, my mother was much worse.
Since developing PP, I already went mostly natural with everything from washing powder and skin care products, cleaning products. I cook mostly everything from scratch, using as much organic produce as I can afford. I even make my own bread and yoghurt and other cultured milk products like kefir.
I certainly don't have any food intolerances.
I'm as healthy as an ox ;-) Even if everyone else in the family gets sick, I barely ever get a sniffle. So I don't think there is anything wrong with my immune system.
Do you mind telling me how much you paid for the 3 sessions of laser hair removal?
Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I wish that most doctors would spend this much time trying to figure out the root rather than just treating the symptoms. My current doctor is pretty good, but it took me quite a while to get there.
