White 'lumps'

[chriscavell]

Hi
Just wondering if anyone might know what this is.
On the side of my face by my eye I have several white lumps. Now I say they are lumps because they dont have heads on them (as spots and blackheads do etc) and are quite tough (ie, you cant rub them off) and under the skin (about 1-2mm in size).
They dont hurt but I just wondered if anyone might know what they are and if there is anything I can do about it.

Thanks

Thank you, my doctor just said they were nothing to worry about but didnt actually tell me what they were.

There was this thread going on a little while ago. It may help x

There was a lady on Embarrassing Bodies this week who had a chronic case of these around her eyes. The doctor removed most of them. xxx

Sounds a lot like milia.
