Some stubborn milia
Initially, I thought these bumps lateral to this patient’s left eye were solar comedones due to their location and his history of chronic sun exposure. However, the bumps extracted were pearly, slightly firm tiny cysts, so I believe they were milia.
Milia are very superficial cysts which commonly occur on the face, in particular around the eye area. They are firm small bumps just under the skin surface, but they can’t be squeezed out without first nicking the surface of the skin.
These are not necessary to treat.. but many people request that they be removed because they don’t like the look or feel of them, and they can’t seem to remove them on their own.
These were stubborn, but I’m pretty sure I got all of them!
Thank you for watching!!
