Understanding Those Tiny White Bumps around Your Eyes

Many people are troubled by the presence of small white bumps around their eyes. While these bumps may not be immediately noticeable, they can cause significant irritation.

These tiny bumps, often mistaken for whiteheads, are known as milia. But what causes them to appear?

Milia typically form when dead skin cells and sebum become trapped beneath the surface of the skin. This buildup leads to the development of these small, white bumps.

If you have milia around your eyes, it's important not to attempt removal at home, as this can increase the risk of infection. Instead, seek treatment from a skincare professional. Laser treatment is commonly used to address milia effectively.

After undergoing milia removal, it's recommended to apply DuoDerm bandages to the treatment area for at least one week. This helps to protect the skin and promote healing.

If you're concerned about milia or other skin issues around your eyes, consult with a skincare specialist for personalized advice and treatment options.
