A member asked:

How do you get rid of milia located around the eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See MD for removal: Milia are accumulation of oil under the skin. They look like white spots. An ophthalmologist can remove these with a needle in the office. Local anesthetic is usually not necessary.
