I have some tiny spots on the upper eyelid. My doctor says they are milk spots or milia. He recommends removal. What do you think?

I think your doctor is not interested in your welfare. Milk spots or milia are tiny lesions usually seen around the eyelid or nose. They are most common in newborn babies and are often mistaken for other skin lesions like warts or acne. The majority of milia spontaneously resolve on their own. Milia are not life threatening and the only reason to remove them is cosmesis. If they do not bother you, leave them alone. Best advice, stop mucking around with benign skin lesions around there eye. Many an individual has developed serious damage to the eyelid and eye from bad doctors.
