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?

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'm really worried about this painful bump I have. A friend of mine went to a doctor who tried to squeeze a similar boil-like thing but nothing came out and it was really painful. That doctor prescribed antibiotics and told them to use cold compresses, but I think hot compresses might be more effective. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the doctor's approach. Can you help me figure out what this painful, swollen bump might be?
