Is it normal to have little dots under your eyes?

What are these little white dots on my lip and under my eyes?

• I have these little dots on my upper lip that aren't bumps but it appears that they are under a layer of my skin. I have the same dots under my eyes where people get dark circles when their tired. What are these small white dots and how can i get rid of them? also: i tried finding what it was on google and i found the closest thing is fordyce spots is what it looks like on my upper lip. I am a female and most pictures on google are of men so i dont think that is what it actually is but that's just what it looks like.

• Answer:

  This sounds a lot like Milia, small white cysts around the eyes, nose and mouth. This is often found on newborn babies. I have a couple under my eyes, and after searching the web, it appears to be quite common and not at all harmful to your health. You can try to treat it yourself by exfoliating the area a few times to remove the thin layer of skin these cysts are under. If this does not work for you, you will likely need to see a dermatologist to have them removed.
