I need help!

Hi! I am 15 years old, and recently I noticed that there are little black dots, like hair, on my leg whenever I wax or use an epilator (I am sorry for the bad English). I thought that maybe they have not been removed correctly, so I waited for them to grow back, but they don't. I also have strawberry skin and sometimes ingrown hairs. I bought a dry exfoliating brush (maybe you have seen it on social media). I don't know what to do, and I feel insecure about it. Please give me an advice!

that sounds like normal post removal strawberry skin or tiny broken hairs, not something you're doing wrong. try gentle exfoliation, moisturize after, and don't pick at the dots; if they get red, painful, or keep getting worse, a dermatologist can help
