What is the best way to remove a whitehead on my eyelid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully: Most often, these "whiteheads" are small keratin filled inclusions or cysts, which are harmless and usually painless. They are referred to as milia. An ophthalmologist can safely remove them for you. Breaking them open on your own can lead to infection.
