Brief Answer:
Looks like milia, tretinoin 0.05 percent cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the attached photographs and these are looking like milia.
Ideally they have to be removed by radiofreqency ablation or extirpation.

If you don't want to go for any procedures you can try using Tretinoin 0.05 percent cream on these lesions at night.
