Small, flesh-colored bumps on face?

[xsweetestxsinx]

I think I have this too. Does it look anything like this? (warning, this image is kind of gross) http://www.acnenaturalremedies.com/i...eheads-mag.gif I have these things appear on my chin constantly. I remove them every night but they always reappear throughout the day. It makes me extremely self conscious because it looks very gross even though I make sure to keep my skin clean. I am very oily so that might be why. I currently use Cetaphil facial clenser, st. ives apricot scrub, retin A micro cream, and benzyl peroxide gel. This has cleared up all acne problems aside from this. It seems as though there is nothing I can do and it's very depressing. I would do almost anything to get rid of them.

Did you ever find a way to get rid of those? I have the exact thing. Tried everything and nothing seems to work. =/

I have them and really want to get rid of them. I tried to do it on my own but it didn't work. I'm going to have to go to a derm to get it done.

I agree with Lolli--there are many reasons as to why someone may develop these and your best bet is to visit your dermatologist or aesthetician. They will be able to develop a game plan for you that will help in decreasing the incidence of them.

A lot of skin issues are hormone mediated as well as genetics. It's something that we will have to manage through a skin care regimen that works best for our individual concern. Many times otehrs do not notice our "blemishes" as much as we do. My derm gave me several common sense things to do in order to help manage my acne (I'm 37 and yes--still break out....). Here's what she shared:

• Do not use scrubs--the most abrasive thing you should use on your face is the pads of your fingers. Otherwise you create an atmosphere/conduit for bacteria to enter the skin
• Wash your hair daily
• Change your pillow case daily
• Use Cetaphil face wash
• Use lotions that are clear
• Use suncreens that are clear or labelled "Sport"

That's all I can remember for now. Periodically, I have to take an antibiotic regimen when I have particularly bad break outs, but for the most part it's somewhat manageable--and I've grown to accept it to a degree. Besides--one day I will wish I had the hormones that made me break out (we are never truly happy are we???)

Suzan, I appreciate the time you took to respond to the post. Would you care to elaborate and share suggestions? This is a place where we build one another up and offer useful information. Your response, in its current state, does not add to the conversation.

Are these it? I've had them for about 3 weeks now I thought it was just pimples

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

Hi. If you don't mind me asking, do you remember the exact diagnosis for you daughter's skin condition? Thanks.

Natural Aloe!!! Like from the plant itself. I recently started getting these tiny bumps all along my jaw line and cheeks. I was getting desperate and my mom suggested I try aloe, we happen to have the plant growing all over our yard so i cut an arm off, peeled it and took the raw aloe out. Its this gelatine like substance thats very slippery and gooey. Oh, and it smells terrible, but it WORKS!!! My face is almost clear now after applying it twice!!! Good Luck!

 

[brianna813]

Yes I get them right under my eyes as well ! My concealer sinks into them and makes it look so much worse!

So I almost didn't reply to this because I saw the original post was from 2009, but when I continued with the thread, it seems to be on going.

I found this thread 2 days ago, when I was having this problem in a major way. Now, they're still there but DRASTICALLY reduced. My Skin tends to have it's freak outs this time of year, and last year I went drastic... I stopped looking at my typical drugstore brands and went natural. It took me some experimenting, but I have my go to cleanser and really don't have the acne issue I used to. However, I started going back to the drugstore products, and not eating great (because your eating habits, in my opinion, play a bigger role than what you're putting on the top layers of your skin).

So since I've gone back to my natural/clean products strictly, and it's been making a difference, except these bumps were still there. So I did some leg work, (found this thread in the process) and ended up going to a favorite youtuber of mine (cloudyapples) who had heard of Manuka Honey. It's kind of expensive and will be more so depending on the number on it. So she gave it a shot and did a video on it, talking about how great the product was. Apparently it's suppose to help you with regular zits too, which have been popping up for me, so I went out and bought it, yesterday.

I came home from work last night, washed my face, and put the honey on like a mask, and let it sit for 20 min. Any time I've used honey in the past it's gotten chunky, and could be more of an exfoliater, and was a nightmare to get off. This is goes on smooth and washes off with ease. I didn't put anything else on my face because I wanted to see how this specific product worked....the answer? like a dream.

My regular zits were almost gone when I woke up today, and my skin is soft and smooth. THEN I touched the bumpy area, and the bumps are still there....barely. That was after one use, and you're not using something harsh on your face, it's gentle and nourishing. I'm actually wearing it while I type this up. SO that's what's helped me...with the reduction I've already seen, my bumps could be gone 100% by tomorrow night...no joke

The bumps might be clogged pores. There are many easy way to get rid of clogged pores. By simply washing your face with agentl cleanser you can unclogged your pores. You can also do a steaming method. Steaming will open your pores and unclogged them. Just remember not to overdo the steaming because it might cause dry skin.

I have small skin coloured bumps too and I've tried a lot of stuff like face masks and I've bought a lot of face washes and exfoliatiors and none of them help. I didn't have them last year but gradually gained them over time all over my forehead. I'm not sure if it's my makeup and I haven't gone to a derm yet but I'm thinking about it. Please someone help me.

I used to have a similar problem, my skin was producing too much keratin and the bumps were just a build up of dead skin cells, the area was feeling very irritated after a while. I had a few treatments of micro dermabrasion about two years ago and now I don't have any issues, I just exfoliate every week and that's enough to keep the issue at bay.

I think you should really go see a dermatologist. I am not discounting the above person's post and her issue. I strongly believe you need to make sure you get a correct diagnosis so that you get the treatment you need. Perhaps if you only had a few spots you could try things on your own. However at this point you most likely need a more aggressive treatment and trying something at home could damage your skin possibly leaving permanent scarring. It's possible there is an inexpensive generic topical that will work without having to have multiple procedures that can get quite expensive. Good luck. I hope you're able to find a quick effective treatment. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

I agree with getting advice from a dermatologist and getting a diagnosis, I had a general idea about my issues (I'm trained in skincare), I also got advice about my issues before I acted on them, I know the treatments may not work for everyone, I was just explaining my own experience.

If they are hard flesh colored bumps, they could be calcium deposits. Calcium deposits usually need to be professionally extracted- since there's no pore (opening) for them to easily slide through, an Esthetician or Dermatologist will use a lance to create one.
