Apricot Scrub-Not Working!

I have been using it for a few weeks and my skin seems s smoother, but the red spots don't go away!! I have heard there is a medicated apricot scrub...will that one do the trick? Or do I need to get some sort of cream/solution? I just want these red spots that are at the hair follicles on the back of my arms to go away! Thanks for any suggestions =)

The apricot scrub will only help to make it smooth. Unfortunately I haven't found anything to get of the red dots...good luck though and let us know if anything works for you!

Sometimes when women shave their bikini area or inside of thighs it gets really aggravated. I think because of friction. Bikini Zone is a topical analgesic creme used for relief of skin irritation. You can find it at Wal-Mart or your drug store. It is usually around the hair removal section "Nair". I just kept looking until I found a creme with salicyic acid in it. I read on another web site for kp that urea creme(prescription) mixed with 2% salicyic acid applied while exfoliating would help. The bikini zone has helped my redness. I also found that scrubbing with medicated apricot scrub by St. Aves also has 2% salicyic acid as well. Vaseline skin firming lotion has vitamins A, E, D, magnesium and urea listed on the ingredients. Also visine relieves even minor skin redness but I've never tried it on this. Good Luck!

it hasn't helped the red dots yet. It has helped it from looking so inflamed. I've used it about 1 week.
