I’ve had these skin-colored pimples on my face for years. What are they and can they be removed?

Question

Over the last few years, I noticed that I had these pimples that wouldn’t disappear. They almost look like a mini-blister with a black dot in the middle. I noticed the change after I had had Juvederm undereye fillers put in. I don’t know if it was right after I got the fillers, or if they formed over time. Could the fillers have caused this? Are they removable?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

In order to determine the issue and thus recommend the proper treatment modality a picture is needed. I suggest consulting with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist in reference to this issue. If have you pimples you are likely going to need acne treatment which includes skin care, peels, clear and brilliant,  etc.  If this is related  to filler you would need to reverse the filler with hyaluronidase.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi stixnstonz34,Without being able to see the bumps, it's tough to know what they are. It's possible the filler either caused them or could have made existing bumps more noticeable. On the other hand, they could be completely unrelated to the filler, as there are lots of skin bumps that can simply develop on their own. A dermatologist should be able to give you a proper diagnosis (and possible treatment options) once they see you in person. Best, of luck!

Without a physical exam or at least some pictures, it is impossible to help you with these lesions. We are surgeons, not mind-readers. These could be blackheads, skin tags, and a host of other more complicated skin lesions. I suggest you go see a local dermatologist to be evaluated.Good luck!
