    White bump on cheek
    I've got a white bump on my cheek next to my nose. It's round, won't burst and I've had it for at least six months. It's not very noticeable as it's the same colour as my skin but it is white when pressed. Any ideas?

    Could be milia; I have a small white bump under my eye thats been there for about ten months and it doesn't appear to be growing or disappearing! They're fairly common, and can be left if they don't bother you.

    I have one under my eye too! I had it for a good aaaagggess until one day I was watching my face, looked in the mirror and it had gone. They are common and harmless, and will disappear in the end. However I suggest if you are feeling at all worried, go and see the GP and they will reassure you
