How come I have those hard white bumps under my eye and how do I rid of them?

Question

Any tips or product sugestions? I have very sensitive dry skin.

They are really small and look like a white head but they are inpossible to pop

They are under the eye and I am not over weight I eat healthy and I am a veg (in response to one answer)

Answer 1

If its those white hard bumps that are impossible to squeeze out. ...you can go to a beautician and they can remove them for you with a sterilised needle.

I had 2 under my eye so i got a clean sharp needle and carefully peeled away the top layer of skin and squeezed it out.

Be careful though and dont do it if its too close to your delicate eye area.

Answer 2

I have them too. They are whiteheads however, mine are disappearing. I use Mario Badescus drying lotion. It works so good, you should try it. You can order a sample from their website by filling in a questionnaire about your skin. Go to www.mariobadescu.com and click on consulting. If you see an additional info box, state you want a sample of their drying cream. They cant ship drying lotions because the formula needs to be in a glass bottle, but cream is close enough. I have sensitive dry skin too so I really dont understand why I get whiteheads. I went to a dermacologist and he told me to have them removed by laser when I am 20. I would rather use the Mario Badescu drying lotion and naturally dry them up. do what works for you and good luck.

Answer 3

They are just like little skin bumps right? I get those too. I think they are called sists and they stay for a long time and they go away after awhile usually. I have them too. But ive never been to the dermatologist for them, so you might want to make an appointment and find out.

Answer 4

Make an appointment with a dermatologist. Do not pick or pop these. They could be whiteheads, clogged oil glands or an indication of cholesterol problems. Go see a professional and get the correct treatment.

Answer 5

They are not whiteheads! A lot of athletes get those as well as people who dont wash the eye area well out of fear of tugging too hard on the skin. Use a gentle wash after you use eye makeup remover and maybe think about visiting your dermatologist...good luck!

Answer 6

I believe they are fat deposits. I had one under my eye that bothered me for the longest time and then one day I noticed it was gone. Now recently I notice a new one. I also have bumps on my forehead and I read in a skin care book written by a dermatologist that they are fat deposits.

Answer 7

i had those.. but they were on top of my eyes.. my baby brother used to also have those white bumps, he has dry skin too,, he has eczema actually. use CORTAID it reallt works, just put some on the white bumps after taking a shower and before sleeping. before you know it, it'll disappear. trust me, i know. i already got rid of 4, and i'm getting rid of 2 now. if you can't find cortaid, try hydrocortisone. even if cortaid is an anti-itch cream, it works and it takes away the white bumps. hope this helps... =)

Answer 8

are they hard? do they feel liek little balls? My bf has those around his eyes. they are also almost white. the only way he can get rid of them is to poke them wiht a needle and take them out. that is also what they did at the dermatologist office when he got a facial. he said they used needles to dig out the larger ones.

is this a skin condition?? do you know? he only has then under and on the sides of his eyes...ive always wondered what they were. but neither of us know lol

Answer 9

Cholesterol deposits possibly if they are in the corner of the eyes. A eye Dr. can remove them.
