Tiny white bumps on face - not pimples!?
These tiny bumps are also on the back of the arms of my granddaughter. Some of them have a solid white core that will eventually come to the surface and slough off. Her cheeks also get red occasionally. Does anyone know what they really are and how to get them to go away?

Sprite,
Your brief description resembles the white spots named as milia. The key to getting rid of milia is realizing that they have no escape route, those little bumps are trapped under the skin. So, to get them out, you’ll need to have a professional like a dermatologist extract them. You can extract the milia yourself, but this involves risks. You need to ensure that your milia are not symptoms of some underlying disease or illness. Also, if you extract the milia yourself, you may have trouble completely pulling out the cysts, as the removable process may prove too painful. Otherwise, if you are confident with your health and courage, you can cleanse your hands and face. Then wet a cloth with warm water and apply it to your face for a few minutes. Gently apply a sterile needle to the centre of the little white bump to create a tiny opening in the skin. Wrap your thumbs in a clean tissue and, using your thumbs, proceed to gently squeeze the contents of the little white bump out. Finally, cleanse the area of the extracted little white bump with an astringent. In cases when detailed medical information is required you would be advised to contact your doctor or dermatologist.

many times purely little zits. i would not be too annoying. You reported you won them on your teen years, so it incredibly is often once you talk which you're going by utilising ability of puberty and turning out to be up. You already went to the well-being practitioner and he even reported it was pimples. I doubt it incredibly is a ailment pondering if it exchange into as quickly as that extreme your scientific professional might have reported despite and DID despite, so do not concern.
