I'm glad someone DID bump it.
I have this problem, and it just really occurred to me to actually research it online and see why this is, to see if I can get rid of it. I've had it for as long as I can remember after starting to shave my legs. I wondered if hyperpigmentation was the issue because my dark skin.
It's not little hairs waiting underneath the skin that I am looking at here. It's clearly a dark "dot" of actual skin, as described by others. A darker area of skin surrounding the pore where the hair comes out. I know this for certain because hair and skin don't look alike.
I'd just like to know what causes these "dots" and if they can be cleared at all.
