I'm really struggling with these colloid milia around my eyes. I've had them since 4th grade, and they make me feel self-conscious because they look so bad. Do you have any advice on how I can get rid of them?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Colloid milia are small, yellowish or white bumps that can appear around the eyes.
Causes
- Keratin buildup
- Sun exposure
- Genetics
- Aging
Removing Colloid Milia
- Professional extraction: Consult a dermatologist for safe removal.
- Topical retinoids: Derivatives of vitamin A can help prevent clogged pores.
- Exfoliation: Gentle exfoliants containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) can help remove dead skin cells.
- Sun protection: Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further damage.
Home Remedies (not recommended as sole treatment)
- Castor oil: May help reduce inflammation.
- Aloe vera: Soothes skin and reduces inflammation.
- Tea tree oil: Has antibacterial properties, but use with caution due to potential skin irritation.

I've been noticing some red rashes on my legs, arms, and back since yesterday. Initially, I thought it might be something I ate, but Im not really sure. It gets pretty itchy in the morning, and when I scratch, the rashes seem to spread. After lunch, the rash flared up again but disappeared a bit after I took some medicine. I'm worried about why this is happening. Could it be something serious?
You may be experiencing an allergic reaction. To help alleviate the itching and rash, you can take an antihistamine. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching and inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm 16 and I'm noticing that I have a mustache and a bit of hair on my chin, but nothing on my cheeks, and my sideburns are pretty small. I'm feeling a bit self-conscious because everyone in my family seems to have a good beard except for one of my uncles. Someone mentioned that shaving every day for 20 days might help me grow a beard. Is that true? I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to help the hair come in, especially on my cheeks.
thats patchy beard and there are many successful treatment modalities avaialable,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
