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?
Colloid milia are small, yellowish or white bumps that can appear around the eyes. _Causes_ 1. Keratin buildup 2. Sun exposure 3. Genetics 4. Aging _Removing Colloid Milia_ 1. *Professional extraction*: Consult a dermatologist for safe removal. 2. *Topical retinoids*: Derivatives of vitamin A can help prevent clogged pores. 3. *Exfoliation*: Gentle exfoliants containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) can help remove dead skin cells. 4. *Sun protection*: Wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to prevent further damage. _Home Remedies (not recommended as sole treatment)_ 1. *Castor oil*: May help reduce inflammation. 2. *Aloe vera*: Soothes skin and reduces inflammation. 3. *Tea tree oil*: Has antibacterial properties, but use with caution due to potential skin irritation.

I'm using this cream and every time I stop using it, my skin turns red, I get these unwanted hairs, and there are black spots too. Should I keep using it or is it better to stop?
It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from stopping the cream. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any decisions. However, if you are using a topical steroid cream, abrupt discontinuation can lead to rebound redness and other skin issues. You may need to taper off the cream gradually to avoid these effects. Additionally, unwanted hair growth and black spots may be related to the cream you are using. I recommend using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil and a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% for any redness. Consult with your doctor for a proper tapering schedule and alternative treatment options.
