Small white bumps under eyes - 20-11-08, 05:57 PM

Hi there - was wondering if I could get a bit of advice!

Lately it seems like the other half has a collection of very very tiny white bumps just under the eye in the inner corners. They didn't seem to be there before and I definately don't have them.

A quick search on the net lead me to something called 'cillia' but the pictures of it look different - bigger and not as collected if that makes sense. So not sure if this is what is is...

What's the best way to get rid of them?

Thanks so much!

cilia are tiny hairs. Did you mean milia?

They can be all different sizes http://www.visualdxhealth.com/images...lia_923_lg.jpg around the eyes as exfoliation is not recommended a salon that does advanced electrolysis should be able to zap them. They need extracting with a probe or probably with electrolysis as they are solid lumps so can't be squeezed through the skin any other way. Does he use a rich eye cream or face cream on this area as this can cause them.

No he doesn't use any creams around the eyes or face for that matter.

Do you know how much it might cost to get them removed professionally?

Is there a chance it'll leave any scarring considering how tiny they are?

Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for your help!

No scarring should occur otherwise there would be no point in having them done, just get someone experienced, the hole created is smaller than a pin prick. The salon I used to work in charged £30 but that was a high end price.
