Is there anything I can do to treat my under eye scarring?

Question

Hi! I noticed a white dot under my left eye and tried to pop it because I thought it was a pimple. It started turning red which I figured is blood so I just left it. After a while I noticed it started turning brown. After some research I think its Milia and because of the popping, I think it started scarring. Is there anything I can do? Will this disappear on its own or is it permanent? Thank you! *please see reference photo

Good Morning! I see what you're talking about. It's good that you've left it alone now as you could create more inflammation and increase your risk of scarring. It's hard to say if it'll be permanent at this point. I would seek consultation with an aesthetician to see what may be happening. If it is something like milia, it can often be extracted with minimal downtime and discomfort. Best of luck!
