[Charetti]

I have a few on my eye lid area.  I remember my dad had lots of them and had them removed. I dont know if he had scars but I would imagine anything like that would.  I am 48 years old and it seems to be another wonderful part of aging.  Argh!

Hello,
These small bumps under the eyes can be due to milia. They are white pimples that occur mostly on the upper cheeks, nose and chin. The best way to prevent milia is to avoid treating your skin with excessively harsh chemicals and to limit sun exposure.Also use good quality cosmetics and exfoliate your skin regularly. If still the symptoms persist then chemical peeling or laser removal can be done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
