Years ago I started getting these little bumps under my eyes that were more noticeable (I can see more of them)when I pulled down the skin. Thenten years ago I was diagnosed with Hyperaldosterism. The endocrinologist said the lumps were a symptom ( not cholesterol or calcium deposits or skin tags- I can't think of the name she used)of the adrenal gland tumor. She said nothing could be done to get rid of the lumps. I was hoping that you would know what these are and if now years later if there is a way to get rid of them or to treat them so they are less noticable. A couple are even on the outside of my eyelids. They don't itch bleed or secrete anything. They are lumped together but not on top of each otherand they are only around and under both eyes area- regular skin color but not even a make up concealer stick hides them and I am very self conscious and it seems more are there. I am on aldactone to control the disease. Any insight? Thanks

The most common little bumps women get under their eyes are cysts or else syringomas another form of benign cyst. I don't know of any association with hormone abnormalities. Although somewhat challenging to eradicate these cysts do respond to electrosurgery (cauterization) or laser treatment. They may recur but a touch-up treatment every now and then may be all that's needed. I therefore advise you to contact a dermatologist with an interest in cosmetic work and ask about the feasibility of removing them if they bother you. I think your hormone status is probably irrelevant to this. Best.
