Hello

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I can understand your concern.

This is referred to as milia. Its a cyst of the skin filled with dead skin or keratin.
Is completely harmless and it only has cosmetic concern.

The treatment for it would be burning it off with a radio frequency machine by a dermatologist. There is no cream to treat it. Even after removal there could be a chance of recurrence.

Please let me know if you have any queries.
Take care
