White dot under my eye, what is it?!


Question: White dot under my eye, what is it?
I have this thing under my eye that sort of looks like a pimple but its not. It's un-pop-able? Lol. I've been having it there for no more than a year. I didn't even notice when i got it. It doesn't hurt or anything but it's been getting on my nerves now I feel like it's never going away. Here's a picture of it....

It's two pictures of the same eye...

Does anybody know what this is?

Answers:

It's called milia. The pores on the skin under your eyes are different than the skin on the rest of your face. Because the pores are smaller, if they get clogged you get things like this. Avoid using creams or lotions on that area unless it's specifically designed for the eye area, and if you wear makeup make sure it is removed at night.



It sounds like:
MILIA (whiteheads)
Milia are deep seeded white bumps that form when skin cells and sebaceous matter become trapped rather than exfoliate naturally. Milia can occur anywhere on the skin and are prone around eye area and cheeks.



It's probably a wart. You might want to see a dermatologist for that.
