They look small and harmless, but those tiny white bumps under the eyes can actually be a warning sign your body is sending you.
Doctors explain that these bumps, often mistaken for acne, are actually milia — small cysts caused when keratin (a protein in your skin) gets trapped under the surface. While usually not dangerous, they can signal skin stress, clogged pores, or underlying health issues.
The bumps don’t typically go away on their own quickly, and squeezing them can make things worse. Proper skincare, gentle exfoliation, or in some cases, medical treatment may be needed to remove them safely.
This condition has become a hot topic online as more people share photos, asking if their bumps are “normal.” Experts are urging people not to ignore them, especially if they spread or become painful.
