I've had it for years. Then I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I tried changing my diet to suit the diabetes - low carbs, whole wheats, leafy greens - and my IBS flared up so badly. It was bad before I started taking my metformin/glucofage but it got increasingly worse when I changed my diet for the diabetes.
Newborns are also coated with a thick, pasty, white material called vernix caseosa (made up of the fetus' shed skin cells and skin gland secretions), most of which will be washed off during the baby's first bath.
White bumps on the skin are usually a type of acne known as whiteheads. They can also be called facial milia or keratin-filled cysts. Treatments can include cryosurgery and excision. White bumps on the skin are usually very smallâbetween 1 to 2 mm in diameterâand may appear in clusters. They are fairly common around the delicate eye area. When poked or prodded, they may release a soft white substance. These bumps can even appear on newborns, but they usually go away on their own over time.
