Under-eye dermatology question?

Question

In the last year or so, I've notice that I've developed several little 'cysts' around my eyes -- especially on the skin beneath the eye (the place where dark circles often appear). I tried scrubbing them off with a facial scrub, but they won't budge & they're not pimples. Should I see a dermatologist to have them removed? I'm wondering if they're caused by seasonal allergies (something else I've developed recently). Any input?

They're not 'milia', either. They have no white 'head' on them. They sort of look like small, thin, raised warts, sort of, but not quite. They don't hurt or itch, either.

Answer 1

Normally, very few people have blocked pores or zits in that undereye area, simply because of the lack of oil glands. You could simply have blocked pores, called milia.
What kind of moisturier/ sunscreen/eyecream are you using? Try using an oil free moisturizer.
Use a very gentle face scrub under your eyes, and rinse thoroughly. Keep your eyes closed the entire time you are scrubbing/rinsing!
If they don't improve in 1 - 2 weeks, I would see a dermatologist, before they increase or get bigger. I don't think they are allergies.

Answer 2

Make sure you're really getting enough sleep, and eat more vegetables, and drink plenty of water. Buy some Vitamin K cream, to use under your eyes. It'sfor dark circles and bruises (almost any drug store, chemists, cosmetic counter will have it) . Until it works, use a concealer on the dark circles, and don't forget the inner corners of your eyes (they tend to get dark too if you have dark undereye circles) Put your face makeup over the concealer, then make up your eyes as normal. You should look gorgeous after that. :)

Answer 3

Go see a dermatologist, sounds like little blocked pores.

Answer 4

If they look like tiny blobs of yellow, you should have your cholesterol checked.
