i have these spots on my face that i believe are calcium deposits and i don't know where they came from or why i have them they are only on my face and no where else. these spots are like little tiny white spots, they feel hard when i touch them. my mother told me that one of her friends had this on her face as well as i do but she had them removed with surgery. is there anything that i can do to get rid of these spots that are on my face without have to have surgery or any other painful procedure?
I had one under my eye. My sister in law told me what it was and said she had one in the exact same spot and her friend told her to pop it, like a zit. She told me to do the same. At first I wasn't going to, but it had been there for months and hadn't changed at all so I thought why not. So I tried it, it hurt very badly but some white pus-like stuff came out. My sister in law said a tiny white rock came out when she did it, but she had it for years before she did that so I guess hers had time to harden.
But it did go away and didn't come back. There was a red spot there for a couple days until it healed up but other than that and some pain when I did it there was no problem.
You may want to see a doctor though. I heard there's some chance for infection because your skin breaks down easily around calcium deposits. I just kept it clean with alcohol until the skin healed. But I don't know, it's up to you, that's just what I did.

I get them a lot around my nose and mouth area. It's so ugly because if you don't pop them soon the skin builds up over it and causes bigger bumps. I have had to dig deep with a needle to get mine out and a semi-hard white ball comes out, but if you try to squish it, it does mush.
