What Are Those Tiny White Bumps around Your Eyes?

Many are concerned about small white bumps that appears around their eyes. Though those tiny bumps are not noticeable unless you look at them closely, they can be extremely irritating. 

These bumps which are commonly confused with white heads are milia. But why do they appear? 

Milia can be caused by different factors. Most commonly, they occur due to dead skin cells and sebum building up and getting trapped beneath the surface of your skin.   

Milia around eyes can be easily treated with laser. You should not remove them at home, or they can get infected. It is advisable to have them removed by a skincare professional.  

Also, don’t forget to apply DuoDerm band-aid on the treatment area for at least 1 week after the milia have been removed.
