Many tiny bumps

[ridingforlife]

I have these tiny tiny bumps under my eyes. They start in the inside corner near my eye, and kind of swoop down sort of towards the middle of my cheek (but don't go all the way that far). They're skin coloured, and under both eyes, and there's a whole bunch of them, in two patches basically.

I was wondering if this is just the way my skin is, or if there's something I can do about them? I've them for as long as I can remember. They're not visibly if I'm smiling or squinting my eyes, but otherwise they're noticable, or at least I notice them.

I can get a photo if that'll help explain it better.

Thanks.

those are normally called mica (I am sure that is the way it is spelled, but I could be wrong)
A lot of people say its caused by using the same cream on your face around your eyes, also according to the Paula B the cosmetics cop this is not true.
I have had a few for years, some have disappeared and some have not.
If you really feel that they look bad see a derm other than that I just live with them.

Hi! I have something similar, they're small bumps and quite firm to touch. I only recently got them and they're in random places on my face, i thought they might be 'white heads' but i just want to get rid of them!! I don't know what to do either, i just try to exfoliate regularly..

wht heads r soo hard 2 remove.i had some on my forhead and what i did is i steamed my face and took a strait pin and gently penetrated them then i squeezed (i know bd grl)i wouldnt advise u to to do that bc they r near ur eyes.

Okay, thanks! They don't bug me tons, so I can probably just live with them for now.

If they are white heads, what can be done to remove them? can they be removed? is there anything which shouldnt be done to the skin with them? its quite depressing really, looking at myself now and looking at myself from before! lol, okay not that major..but its not funny..

Riz if these are around your eyes you should only have a derm remove them.

Hi everyone, I am Linda, I am 31 years old. I am new member to this forum. I have this skin problem, I always have a lot of small tiny bumps on my face and chest and back. For the past four years, I used cleansing scrub with benzoyl peroxide and it did good to my face though i still had small bumps but they were not that much, but lately for the past six months, they seemed to be out of control and they covered almost everywhere on my face and my chest. they looked in mass, tiny, no head and no itchy or burning. some of them even now have become red irritated big acne. The regular product i used seemed don't work anymore. I have jumped from one product to another like Olay, Medi Beauty and i just started using Seba Med for clear face. but nothing seemed good to me. I went to facial and had them squeezed out, the person who did facial to me said that most of them couldn't be squeezed out. Now, my face is irritated, inflammed, and rough with lots of small bump and big red inflammed acnes. I just really don't know what to do anymore. I saw a lot on internet and i find out that may be my bumps are white heads and pustules.

Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of them and reduce the scar as resulted from squeezing them out?

Thanks a lot for the assistance in advance.
