What Causes White Pimples Above Cheek Bones And On Lateral Side Of Face?

I have quite a few indented/icepick/rolling scars that are various yet shallow. Thus, they are only noticeable at certain amounts of closeness. I also have small white bumps that appear to be pimples above my cheekbones and on the most lateral side of the face. What options are available for me, if any that are effective and permanent

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for white pimples above cheek bones and on lateral side of face. After reading your query it appears to be sebaceous cyst of the cheek bones and on lateral side of face. It is quite common to find such kind of white pimples like growth in people who have had history of pimples in young age. I reassure you that it is quite common condition and can be managed very easily.

In my patients with such kind of white pimples above cheek bones and on lateral side of face I generally go for either excision of the area or mild extraction. These procedure are used to remove the inside material and therefore give immediate relief from the problem. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist these pimples.
Take care.
