What Could Be The Hard White Bumps On Face And Eyelids In Which White Stuff Is Coming After Squeezing?

I have several hard white bumps on my face and eyelids. After they get so big I can pick at them and within a day or so they open up and the white stuff comes out. This is not a pimple and it doesn't seem to be pussy. It's dry and comes out in pieces. What is that and how can I keep from getting them?

Hi,

I can understand your concern for hard white bumps on face and eyelids in which white stuff is coming after squeezing.

There is possibility of the "milia" for hard white bumps. It can be taken out with simple very small needle which is so small that nothing is visible. Even now we use radio-frequency machine to get rid of these type of hard white bumps. There is no need of any stitches so will not leave a mark.

You can talk to your dermatologist who will guide you for both the procedures which can relieve your problem in minutes.

Do not try to take them out by yourself as can cause spots. Protect yourself from direct sunlight and use a good sunscreen.

All the best.
