My son is 14 months old and has had a white bump under his eye for about 3 month!


Question: The bump is not near the eye or eyelashes, so it is not a sty. I don't want to hurt him and try to scrape it or squeeze it. I have searched what it could be and if it is a cholesterol deposit or a calcium deposit they recommend running a lot of test and the websites say that it could be an indication of a serious problem. I see a lot of people have these white bumps, but I can't find anything about a young toddler having them. Any ideas to how to remove or reassurance that it is nothing serious are appreciated. Thank you!!

I hate to seem to give medical advice. So let me start by saying to ask your doctor at the baby's next appointment. That aside, it is probably nothing to worry about. My son had something similar when he was a baby. You could just leave it alone and it will take care of itself. My baby's did. I was told it was like a pimple. Not exactly, but similar. It is a blocked pore. Most things that happen to our babies have happened to thousands of others...they will take care of themselves. Relax and enjoy your baby! :)

Your question does not indicate that you have been to or asked an actual doctor or pediatrician. That is where I would start.

Go to a doctor ASAP.
