A member asked:
I believe my son has milia under his eye. i cant afford to see a doctor at this time.. is there anyway that i can treat this myself. he is 5 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I wouldn't recommend doing anything to remove the milia, especially in a delicate area near the eye. They need to be mechanically removed/extracted, and a dermatologist or some pediatricians can remove them. No hurry, just get him an appointment when you have the time and money. Be healthy!
