Recently I received a question from our guest Courtney:
| Q: How do you get rid of those bumps under the eyes. i think there large clogged pores, and i had them for awhile now. i tried everything. but nothing works. |
A: If you have noticed white bumps underneath your eyes, you may be wondering what the best course of treatment is. These bumps can often become unsightly, and they also make it difficult to conceal with makeup.
The white bumps underneath your eyes are actually called milia, otherwise known as oil seeds or milk spots. These spots are benign cysts filled with keratin, often found on the roof of the mouth or underneath the eye area. The best way to get rid of milia underneath the eye area is to understand that the small bumps are actually trapped underneath the skin. This means that you can’t extract them yourself, though they can be extracted in a professional dermatologist treatment. If you do attempt to extract the bumps yourself, it does involve risk and damage the delicate under eye area.
