Answer 5

heya hunni

summer has three under her eye and 1 on her nose

they eventually go away by themselfs

they are actually called milia

Milia are pinhead-size white spots on your baby’s nose, cheeks or chin caused by blocked sweat and oil glands. They will disappear without treatment in several weeks when the glands begin functioning. Wash your baby’s face with water and a washcloth while they are present. Do not try to remove or squeeze them.
