I had this condition once. They were small white hard bumps - I had 3 or 4.

My GYN said they were sweat glands that were blocked. She gave me a prescription cream and they were gone in a week. She also took a sample from one for a biopsy, just in case.

She said tight jeans are often a culprit.

Um, I don't think you and the OP are on the same page, so to speak. I doubt she is wearing tight jeans on her face.

I thought of milia too but the way OP describes it as being gone after awhile and then reappearing, I've never heard of milia coming and going like that, usually it takes a looong time for it to go away or you have to use a special product to get rid of them.

I just read an article on ph balance and that sounds a lot like what was being said about the ph balance being out of wack. It can cause red spots, white spots, irritation, redness, sensitivity, peeling, burning etc... She may be better off trying to get her ph back to normal. Try Eucerin Calming Relief Cream. It is recommended by doctors for even baby skin. I can use it on retin-a burned skin with no burning feeling.
