I likely have syringomas, a subtle chicken skin-like area under the eyes with small bumps. What treatments are available? (Photo

Thought it was milia but it seems permanent (had it for the last 10+ years) and it feels smooth to the touch. I know it's not harmful but sometimes in photos with the wrong lighting it gives a shiny or sparkly look to the area under my eyes, and when coupled with existing "dark circles", doesn't look quite good. I'm worried overly invasive treatments will leave scarring and be too abrasive on the already thin skin in the area. I've tried various creams for dark circles, but they didn't work.
