Does anyone know how to get rid of...?

Does anyone know any good way, or any good products to use, to get rid of millia around the lips and eyes? Millia are these tiny white bumps that accumulate around your eyes, and around your lips. I have a few and I HATE them! I have read up on the subject, and there are more than a couple of reasons that millia develop. They can be inherited or they can be attributed to using make-ups that are not for your skin type, etc. I just want to know if anyone has had success at getting rid of millia without having to spend loads of money for fancy products that may or may not even work! I'm looking for more budget friendly, or even homeopathic ways to be rid of them basically. Thanks so much!

    Milia are tiny cysts and need to be removed as no topical treatments will remove them. You either need a dermatologist or if you're feeling brave you need to use a needle to carefully open them. If you try it be sure you clean the area very well with alcohol before and after as well as cleaning the needle with it before proceeding in order to prevent infections.

    I get a needle and make a small hole to squeeze them out. it leaves small red marks where ever you do it. once they go away though my skin i smooth and clear. they go away about one to two days later (red marks). that is just what i do since i stay home all day. but i dont know any other way.
