I have these white plugs under my skin. Some look like grains of rice and some look like pearls.

    Hello grasshopper, they sound like milia, have a look at this leaflet

    https://patient.info/health/milia-leaflet

    Generally harmless, the leaflet explains about them

      You can upload an image if you look at the box to the right of your name, in the 'your reply' box, where you have the option of selecting BOLD, Italic, Emoticon & image

      I don't  know whether I can help if a Dermatologist has already seen them.
