it depends on the type of bump. If they are semi-spherical, much like a pimple or mole, then it may either be an allergic reaction, or a mild bacterial infection. However, if the bumps are more of a criss cross type much like uncooked chicken skin, or the face of a metal file, then it is most likely an over activity of your appocrine glands, much like a different form of acne, whereas instead of pimples, or blackheads, you get bumps. Many people outgrow this, or only get it seasonally, or only one or two times in their lives, but for some people it is permanent. I myself have them permanently, and while I don't find them discomforting, I can see how someone more self-conscious that myself could be worried about how it would alter their appearance. In my experience with such an affliction, icing for about 10 minutes or soaking for about 20 minutes can reduce their appearance for a few hours, though they will more often than not re-appear by the next day at the latest. Thankfully, being rather stout in height, they are easily concealed with a concealer applied lightly and due to the natural contrast in shade between the under eye and the cheek, most often only the affected area needs be treated.

Don't worry too much about it. Its just oil seeds. It could be you are using a eyecream which is too oily. Try switching to a lighter one (if you are young) you don't need such a 'strong' eye cream. Don't squeeze it pls. It won't disappear overnight and its really difficult to get rid off. So I would suggest you either get a lighter cream or if you could, do get a professional facial and get some eye treatment. It would help to clear them up faster. I've the same problem, Hope this helps. Good Luck.

They're called sty's, and they'll go away by placing a q-tip under very hot water & pressing it to them. Do not scrape it or pop it, whatever you do. Just make the water as hot as you can tolerate and keep applying it with the q-tips until it drains.
