For as long as I can remember, I've had these tiny bumps that gather around the inner corner of my eye and along my dark circles. I really, really hate them! They kind of look like chicken skin, but they don't really feel bumpy or anything. I've seen pictures of milia, and that is definitely not what I have. These little bumps don't ever go away and they never move. Some people say that they've started to notice this chicken skin under their eyes as they aged, but I'm a Sophomore and I've had this problem my whole life! I've done a little research, and so far all of the fixes have been really complicated and confusing. Please give me a solution! I like to take good care of my skin, but I'd much rather just buy a lotion or something than see a dermatologist. Thanks for all your help!
I have these same bumps, but I don't wear makeup, and never have. The bumps have been present for me for a long time (so at least in my case) I don't think it's caused by heavy creams or eye makeup.
Xanthelasma is what I believe I have. Except for mine are not white or yellow, it's more like a beige ish color and are on the inside corners of both my eyelids and under my eyes. Here's what I found when I googled it...{are yellowish plaques that occur most commonly near the inner canthus of the eyelid, more often on the upper lid than the lower lid. Xanthelasma palpebrarum is the most common cutaneous xanthom.}
Yours is supposed to be caused by having high cholesterol or high fat in your blood. I hope you have had it checked.
Have your thyroid checked. Sometimes problems with your thyroid can cause these. (Source: my mother had them)
That might be what you have but that's not what the OP is describing. I have what the OP is describing, too, and it looks nothing like that. You don't have the "chicken skin" thing at all. Looks closer to freckles to me.
I hesitated to respond because I'm sure what I'm doing will have unforeseen long term damage but it has worked...
When researching I saw quite a few solutions based on laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Also people doing things at home with acids and retinol.
I decided to try it on part of my area to try it before going at everything. I opted to buy the PMD and do at home microderm on the lightest setting, usually before bed, then after I do an under eye retinol with light moisturizer on top. The next day after cleansing I'll do an under eye mask with retinol and again a light moisturizer. Then after a gentle cleanse at night I use a light under eye serum, light moisturizer on top. Couple days and I'll do a retinol again. Then I continue with my non retinol routine until the next week. The next week I start from the top again. I did it for about 3 1/2 months, the area is now smooth, healed, and no sign of bumps or damage.
I'm not sure what exactly the issue is since I haven't been able to get into a derm (waitlist is 6 months here for non emergency and it's not medically covered) but mine does look like the pictures posted here and I actually got mine after a sunburn in my teens and it's been there since. Or maybe that just made it more noticeable.
I have the same thing! And when you put makeup on it just makes them more obvious 😭

Omg I have the same problem girl and I was researching it on google and mila kept showing up and that's definitely not it!!! Sorry I dont have a answer for you, but if you do find out what tge hell this is please share with me.

I believe the others are right (that it's syringoma under the eyes), it's caused by over productive sweat glands which makes sense to me because I drink a lot of coffee. Something that seems like it should be stated is that coffee affects my skin in terms of acne as well which makes me feel like it could be some form of intolerance/reaction causing the skin to break out all over possibly because of blockage of pores which are everywhere including under the eyes.
These are actually SYRINGOMA. They occur under the eye, chin, upper checks etc. I looked thru so many sites for soooo long BUT I FOUND THIS VIDEO TO HELP EVERYONE!!!!
ENJOY! Good luck everyone!
You look great with or without chicken skin under your eyes. I ..I love you. Just wanted to say it ; )
Same
I’ve searched endlessly about this cause but could not find anything about under eye chicken skin until I stumbled across this page. Im 22 years old and had the smoothest skin under my eye. I’ve recently started using a serum called dr Dennis eye serum which was very drying for my under eye. I was also bleaching and dying my hair at the same time and had take lots of showers and I’ve noticed my under eye started to accumulate small bumps which were noticeable. I believe the cause for these small bumps is dry skin. I took too many baths in one night which cause my under eye to dry out and all the essentials oils went away. I suggest for people with dry skin to not take showers every day but ever two days. I also suggest people using light eye creams to hydrate the under eye and not heavy creams which could cause milia. P.s I do not have dry skin I have oily texture skin so I do not have these small bumps by genetics. I’m trying to get my under eye back how it use to be but don’t know how. So I left my under eye alone and hope it comes back to normal. And I’m trying to take showers every two days know. I’ll keep you guys updated if my eye has progressed 🙂
