I have these little bumps underneath both my eyes. You can't feel them when you touch them, they don't hurt, there is nothing in them to "pop." Any ideas what they could be? They start towards the inner corner of each eye and spread out a bit. I don't know when they first appeared, but I think they are getting worse...or else I'm getting more creeped out by them. They kind of look like chicken skin...lol. Any ideas on what they are and how to get rid of em? Thanks!

If they're small, they're probably a sty. However, if they're larger, they might be chalazions. Either way, go to a doctor to figure out what exactly they are. They can be caused by using cosmetics that you're allergic to, getting dust or irritants in your eyes, or a variety of things like that. There isn't too much you can do to make them go away faster, but if you think it might be your makeup causing it, find something hypoallergenic.

The most common little bumps women get under their eyes are cysts or else syringomas, another form of benign cyst. I don't know of any association with hormone abnormalities.
Although somewhat challenging to eradicate, these cysts do respond to electrosurgery (cauterization) or laser treatment. They may recur, but a touch-up treatment every now and then may be all that's needed.
I therefore advise you to contact a dermatologist with an interest in cosmetic work and ask about the feasibility of removing them if they bother you. I think your hormone status is probably irrelevant to this.

They are calcium deposits. they are harmless and natural for anybody to get, you just have to wait them out . you could get a exacto knife and lightly cut and pop them out but then you will have a little red dot where it was for a few days.

it's probably a stye. just put a warm compress on your eyes. DO NOT POP THEM. and eventually it will go away. it takes like a week to heal.
