While doing some research, I ran aocrss this on HealthBoards regarding malia. I wouldn't recommend lancing or extraction as a first choice as this could cause scarring. I'm sure that you have tried many things to help with it. Without knowing what you have tried, I would start with a natural chemical peel and follow-up using a dot of tea tree mixed into jojoba oil (5 drops of tea tree oil / 1 tsp of jojoba oil). I would avoid using mechanical exfoliation such as salt and ground seeds, particularly on the delicate skin around the eye. When formulating your peel, don't forget to add something that will help moisturize and soothe such as heavy cream. Peels can be hard on your skin if they are too strong or left on too long. I can tell from your other post that you have sensitive skin, so start out using a small amount on an area that isn't too noticeable. Below is a recipe that I felt was gentle enough to start out with. If you don't have aloe vera you can replace it with the cream.Ingredients2 tsp brown Sugar1 tsp Lemon juice1 tsp Aloe Vera1 tsp cream In a bowl, combine brown sugar, lemon juice, aloe vera and cream into a smooth paste. Add more cream if necessary.Dampen your face and apply the paste thoroughly. Massage it gently, using your fingers in slow circular movements. For first-time use leave on for only 1 2 minutes. If that doesn't irritate start leaving on a little longer each time until you reach 15 minutes.Rinse off with tepid water.Only use once per day at the most. Use less often if you start to notice any irritation.Since your malia is under your eye, you will want to be very careful when applying any peel to the area. A general rule of thumb is to keep the peel at least a finger's width from your eye. These natural peels are meant to be fairly gentle so don't expect over-night success. They also don't work for everyone. I hope this was helpful. Feel free to add any more information and please keep us posted on your trials.
