Small, bumpy bumps like millet seeds are appearing on my temples.

관자놀이 쪽에 오돌토돌한 좁쌀 같은 게 올라와요. 

Hello. I am writing to inquire because I am concerned about the skin on my temples.

At some point, small, bumpy protrusions started appearing around my temples. At first, I didn't think much of it since there were only a few, but as time passed, they seem to have spread to the surrounding areas, and when I touch my skin, it feels uneven rather than smooth.

It doesn't particularly itch or hurt, but the unevenness actually looks more prominent when I wear makeup, so it bothers me a lot. I'm wondering if the cosmetics I usually use are the problem, or if it's caused by a buildup of sebum or dead skin cells.

Do these symptoms correspond to milia? Or could it be milia or another skin condition?

I am wondering if it is okay to extract or exfoliate at home, or if it would be better to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment from a dermatologist. I am concerned about my temples because they are close to my eyes; is there a way to improve them smoothly without scarring?
