Small hard bumps with white heads on fac
Hello Doctor, I have developed some small, hard bumps on my face. These bumps are firm (hard like a stone) and are not itchy or painful. They have a white tip. When I accidentally squeeze them, a thick, white, cheese-like substance comes out from inside. These bumps are persistent and do not go away. Please help me understand what these are and what treatment or skincare routine I should follow to get rid of them. I have attached a photo for your reference. Looking forward to your advice.

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.
