Try a 10 percent benzoyl peroxide body wash on the affected areas and switch to breathable, natural fibers like cotton and silk. Speaking of breathable fabrics, give your legs some room to breathe as well. Skinny jeans may be trendy, but for the skin on your legs, they can be fashion don'ts. Denim is coarse and thick, and it can rub against the skin on your thighs, causing it to sweat and chafe. And if you're freshly shaved, it can cause ingrown hairs and irritation. The effects can happen around the bikini area if you go commando - no underwear - or around the mid-calf area if you tuck jeans into boots. Use an exfoliating, noncomedogenic moisturizer after shaving and spot treat ingrown hairs with salicylic acid. Dress for health - your skin will thank you!
