How can I remove syringoma/milia under my eyes?

Doctor's Answer

I fully agree with Dr Chua that the lesions you have posted are consistent with milia.

Some suggestions

  1. Avoid excessive eye creams in the area, as some patients tend to find some aggravation with creams/gels in the under-eye area
  2. Treat the lesions with ablative laser, but do note there’s a risk of recurrence.
  3. I tend to advise a light dose of retinoid (differin or Retin-A) over the affected areas after laser removal to reduce the risk of recurrence

Milia can be annoying but definitely treat-able. Consult your doctor soon!
