White Bumps
Posted: 07-25-05 13:40pm
I am concerned about several small white bumps that have appeared around the eye area. They look like small pimples with a white head.
They are not sore. I have one in the very inside corner of my eye. It looks bad but causes no discomfort. There are also several on my eyelids. If I try to mash them - nothing comes out. Anybody have an answer for this one?

It could be several things. What products are you using right now? Alot of harsh products can cause little whiteheads or blackheads!! The best thing to do is to get a good moisturizer ( I use eucerin skin renewal) works like a charm and use that. Because you can get those little bumps if your skin gets too dry. Other then that you might want to make a derm appointment and consult with her/him on what to do. I doubt its anything serious. Just wait it out and see what happens.

Might be a sty. Make sure you use clean make up and mascara. If its more than 6 months old throw it away!!!

These bumps (for the lack of a better description) are not stys for sure. They are small but noticeable. They are not painful at all. If I try to pick them with a pin they will go away temporarily but always come back. They look like little whiteheads but nothing comes out of them. I hate these things! I use a moistureizer everyday so the skin is not dry. I have been told that they maybe calcium buildups. Don't know.

They could be little white heads. Maybe you are using to harsh of products. Like benzoyl peroxide could cause this or a harsh scrub. What preoducts are you using?

A good toner can help th is too. Get one with a bit of alcohol usually a good astringent has alcohol and it should keep th e skin really smooth and clean. That might help.
