Aa
bumps!
my husband has these small white bumps on his face, they are not raised, and they are hard...any ideas?
i just looked at some cases of milia in adullts and his bumps are much much smaller and lie flat on his skin
no other signs or symptoms, is there anythhing he can do to clear them up (he tried popping one like a pimple and really irritated hs skin doing so, when it came out it was like a hard little ball...)

Hi
These white bumps on the face may be a case of milia. "Milia occur when dead skin becomes trapped in small pockets at the surface of the skin or mouth. They are common in newborn infants and appear as pearly white bumps, most commonly across the upper cheeks, nose, and chin."

These do not need further intervention.In the absence of redness, pain or discharge this does not sound like something which requires immediate intervention.
Are there other associated signs and symptoms?
