When waking up in the morning, most people look in the mirror for various reasons, such as skin care and daily affirmation. We also sometimes check if there are changes on our face or if there’s acne. Some might as well notice skin bumps while tracing the skin, and it may not be acne, but something else.
Your face goes through a lot every day, which is why it’s no surprise that a pimple can show up at any time. But not in all cases is the skin bump related to acne.
Bumps come in different shapes, colors, and sizes, and are usually not dangerous. But sometimes, they may be linked to health problems like skin cancer or blood disorders. You should see a doctor if a bump causes pain or changes in any way. This article may help you identify these facial skin bumps that are not acne.
Millia: Tiny white cysts under the skin.
Milia can be seen as small, smooth white bumps that won’t go away. These tiny cysts often appear in clusters, usually on the cheeks, nose, or around the eyes.
Milia often appear after skin damage or from using heavy products that clog pores. Other causes can include sun exposure or certain genetic conditions. To prevent it, avoid rubbing your skin too hard and choose lightweight skincare. If milia don’t go away, seek professional help.
Sebaceous hyperplasia: Enlarged oil glands.
Sebaceous hyperplasia is caused by enlarged oil glands. When they grow bigger, they form soft or hard bumps that are white, yellow, or skin-colored. It can be caused by hormone changes.
To identify it, these bumps usually have a small dent in the center. Sebaceous hyperplasia can look like basal cell skin cancer, so it’s best to have a doctor check it to be sure.
