'grit' under facial skin

[Mattk]

From time to time I get what can only be described as grit under the skin on my face. There are no visible marks but I can feel them. Using a needle I break the skin and am then able to tease them out.

Any ideas what they are? I removed 2 yesterday and they occur maybe only once a year but seem to get bigger until removed (approx 1mm diameter).

They don't bother me but I'm just curious as to what they are!

Thanks.

Must admit I don't go overboard on all the sterility - I just heat the needle, shove it in and squeeze the hard bit out!! Very satisfying.

Much the same as what I do Matt, and they don't come back in the same place!!

Oh dear, sorry lottie, I'd hate to have allergies, bet their a nightmare!
My nephew came to my house yrs ago, and in 5 mins, his eyes were streaming, its was horrible for him, because I had a cat!

Loads of things set mine off pusskin. Fortunately not my animals, but some birds, plants, smoke, all sorts. Horrible. I hate my eye bags!!
