Small, flesh-colored bumps on face?

[kimmae17]

I had this happening to me for a while. it was like VERY small bumps on my forehead. almost just like a texture to my skin but not large bumps. I think i made it worse by treating it like it was acne and using zit cream. I went out and got clarins gentle day cream and gentle night cream and have been using nothing but that and its greatly improved, i assume it was really irritation from dry skin. i did make a derm appointment for this week though just to check it out.

I have really sensitive skin and I get those (or worst) when a product don't agree with my skin... like MAC makeup remover or wipes or studio finish powder for example.

My skin has gone a little bit weird this winter and my forehead keeps getting oilier and oilier and dry at the same time. I've never really had zits on my forehead (more like around my mouth) but now these annoying little bumps kept appearing that you could not even squeeze. I have dry skin so I tried switching to a lighter moisturizer but then my skin just started to peel because it was dry but still oily!

A couple of days a go I stumbled across acne.org where they recommend using benzoyl peroxide to get rid of zits. I have 5% strength benzoyl peroxide but don't use it as it made my skin incredible dry and horrible looking. I decided to give it another try, though, and after cleansing my face in the evening spread some on my forehead and then after it had dried, spread Lush Celestial over it. And now the bumps are disappearing one by one just after two nights! I think I'll get 2.5% strength benzoyl peroxide for this regime to keep up the results. Next I'll try it on the similar bumps around my mouth and see if it works. I think the secret for not peeling and drying out is to use the right moisturizer and Lush Celestial works for me.

Anyway, if you have a similar problem, I suggest you try this out - it seems to work for me

I have milia and they really came on with a vengeance when I started wearing makeup again. I did some googling and found out about aspirin masks.
What you do is you get generic uncoated aspirin and you dissolve them, or crush them and make it into a paste using water, or moisturizer and put it on your skin. I do it every other day, just on my cheeks which is where I get the milia and different spots will open up. The layer of skin covering the dead skin will be buffed away and then you can use a blackhead extractor tool to get it out. It's worked really well for me and it's super cheap!

I have these on my chin, you can't really see them unless you know where to find them.
But i know they are there, and i see them all the time, when i pull my skin, they just POP out.
I've have them for some time now (a little over a year), and every dermatologist i went to, gave me some cleansers and exfolators, but they didn't help me

I joined Spektra tonight for this very reason! Was going to ask a question about small bumps on the skin and skincare for women over 35. After reading through a few posts I think I'm going to try the Olay Regenerist and maybe the Queen Helene Mint Julep mask. I do resonate with the possibility that it might be bacteria or fungal related as someone mentioned above but we'll see.

Will report here if it works for me.

Hey everyone! I've been researching about this and googling it for a while but I couldn't find a solution for me. I joined just to be able to find a solution. Right now I'm using Biore's pore unclogging scrub and that hasn't worked for my "flat raised bumps" most of them are underneath my eye area close to the bridge of my nose. When I touch it, it doesn't feel 3d, it's more like it's attached to my skin. I don't have pores and instead I have these bumps so I'm assuming the bumps are what clogged my pores. I've had this for a while and never found a solution..for as long as I remember I've had these bumps. I'm only 15. These bumps make me feel very self-concious and all I want is a way to get rid of them! As everyone else said, its more noticable in the sun and in bright areas. I hate looking into the mirror because of my bumps. I feel like my skin is very dry and usually when I wash my face or when there is water on my face the bumps are less noticable. Then I put on moisterizer and it's there again. ):

Does the Olay stuff really work? I hope so because my mom isn't able to buy pricey things for me anymore. ): She is getting sick of me trying products over and over and them not working.

the olay kit really did work for me. i went from having a crazy bumpy forehead to nothing at all. it took a month or so to sort out but now i've had a clean forehead for a couple of years

I have a lot of those little bumps on my cheek and they're driving me crazy.
I just want to know a good, fast way to get rid of them.
I pick at them a lot but it doesnt do anything and the fact that they're there just drives me crazy.
I haven't seen a doctor or anything about them but I'm considering it.
Someone please just tell me how to get rid of them in an easy way.

well the olay microderm face kit helped me loads and also quinoderm cream too which i applied twice a day. i still get the odd patch of bumps but nowhere near what i used to. quinoderm actually started to get rid of the bumps after the first day too.

Hi there!

I too have these little bumps all over my face, for about a year now. There really are getting me down!
I have them mostly on my forehead, but they can be round my nose and mouth too.

I had came across this site when trying google for answers and was so happy to read that you had found something that helped

I've just searched on the Olay, Boots and Superdrug websites though, and it doesnt look like the Olay Microdermabrasion and Peel is made anymore! It just isnt on the websites

Have any of you had this problem?

I'm going to be so angry if they've stopped making it and ive missed a cure by a couple of months!!

If any of you still use the board please reply!

I've always had them under the soft skin under my eyes, so like around my cheek bones. I just woke up today with a lot of fleshtone ones on my upper lip..I think the cleanser I'm using is drying my face out and not quite helping my acne on my forehead..grr! I will try the Olay stuff today and then I think I'm going to get a cleanser from a dermatologist because i have tried way too many kinds and textures of cleansers, natural and top of the line too. Nothing is perfect. If it doesn't clear up my skin, it leaves it greasy. Can't win! Can I get an amen? lol

Please do your research on a skin condition called Sebaceous Hyperplasia. Here are some good links to articles about it:

I have been researching this relentlessly to no avail. my daughter is also 15 and has bumps similar to what you described. they are on her nose in small clusters and appear to be part of her nose, vs. large bumps that could be removed. she says she is not bothered by them, but I can't tell for sure. i want to make sure I help her, but for the life of me cannot identify what they are or what is causing them. any help you can provide is GREATLY appreciated!!!

I actually ended up going to the dermotologists at Johns Hopkins, some of the best in the country and was diagnosed with comedonal acne. I was prescribed a Retin-A based gel (Ziana) and was advised to use Panoxyl face wash (available at CVS) Happily I have had relief from the bumps...I now only use the face wash and no longer use the cream. I also exfoliate once a week. I also use Cera-Ve moisturizer at night only because I get oily during the day. My skin has cleared up significantly and my makeup looks great on now!!!

 

[SkinCareFanatic]

Hi im 15 and i have the exact same problem that you described but im not sure whether to try the olay regenerist as its particularly known for its anti-aging benefits, would you still recommend it? Thanks

 

[MomMichell]

My daughter had the same problem. At first we treated it as acne but had no results. My daughter began to get very discouraged so we consulted a doctor and here is what we did with amazing results! We used benadryl gel all over her face and she also took allergy relief pills twice aday for 3 days and they were gone! Good luck girls, you are beatiful
