Dermarolling / Microneedling / Corn remover for collagen lumps?

Soon thanks for that info.

One of the larger ones in the pictures sure looks exactly like what I have. It makes total sense since it say's milia can form at the site of skin injury. And they happened after I needled the skin. One of the way's they can be removed is with acid peels. So I think the salicylic acid patch may well work.

I soooo appreciate that you found this info. I'm still wondering if 40% salicylic acid is too strong.

I don't have any keloid scars but I do have a couple of hypertrophic scars. The funny thing is that not all scars heal with the hypertrophic scars. Some are quite flat. I had a couple of moles removed and one scar was raised and the other stayed flat. I don't get scars from bug bites at all. None from small cuts or anything either.

 The round lumps look almost like a very small piece of pearl barley under the skin. Like a grain. I have dermastamped and rolled several times in the last couple of years. I also single needled. No problems except for these areas. I probably wouldn't bother to do anything about them except for the location on the forehead. This area makes lumps much more obvious. It must be scar tissue of some kind.

They don't appear every time I needle. I have a couple on my forehead and one on my cheek. They're not painful. I've had them for about 2 years now. I had one on my shoulder one time after an injury. It was a round white lump. The doctor injected cortisone in it and it went away completely and never came back. Cortisone in the face is something I don't think is safe though because it can damage the skin. I think my skin just tends to form a lot of collagen really quickly. They're quite small and I don't think I should single needle them because that might make them bigger.

I've been dermarolling and single needling with really good results. The only thing is sometimes I get these white round collagen lumps forming in the areas I worked on. They look almost like in the skin moles. I know they're not because of the fact that they're white and formed soon after the needling. I only have 3 small ones but I'd like to get rid of them. Needling doesn't seem to help. They are raised slightly too.

I was thinking if it would be safe to use one of those corn remover patches with 40% salicylic on top of them. Would that help them to dissolve? Alternately I could use the liquid corn remover but that's only 17% salicylic acid. Is this safe for the surrounding skin?
