Suggest a remedy for small white facial pimples
Patient: I have small white pimples(not exactly pimples but i don't know what they are called) all over my face since last 5 years.I can't remove them manually but after deep pressing the beauty parlour people are able to remove one or two.Recently I visited a doctor in BTM and he suggested that I should undergo a treatment in which he will apply a layer all over my face for half an hour and then he will remove them.It will cost around 2000 bucks.He confirm that they will get removed but new one can come out.When I asked reason he said it depends on skin type.Please suggest me what i can do .Thanks in advance. Doctor: Hi,You seem to have condition called milia. There may be whitish,small,round elevated lesions. The lesions are cystic containig whitish material. The condion is benign and harmless except cosmetic concern.You cosult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.The milia may be treated in OPD by removing the whitish material puncturing the cysts manually. Or the lesions may be removed by electrocautery done under local anaesthesia.I hope you got my answer.Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
