Commonly Asked Questions
What are milia, and what causes them?
Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the skin, particularly on the face, nose, cheeks, and around the eyes. They occur when keratin, a protein found in the outer layer of the skin, becomes trapped beneath the surface, forming tiny cysts. Milia can develop in people of all ages and skin types, but they are more common in newborns and infants
Are milia harmful, and do they require treatment?
Milia are generally harmless and do not cause pain or itching. In most cases, they do not require treatment and may resolve on their own over time. However, some individuals may choose to have milia removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become bothersome or persistent.
How are milia treated?
Treatment options for milia may include gentle exfoliation using topical retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to help unclog pores and promote skin cell turnover. In some cases, a dermatologist may perform a procedure called extraction, in which the milia are carefully removed using a sterile needle or comedone extractor. It is essential to avoid attempting to squeeze or pop milia at home, as this can lead to scarring or infection.
Can milia be prevented?
While it may not be possible to prevent all cases of milia, certain preventive measures can help reduce the risk of developing them. These include practicing good skincare hygiene, using non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) skincare products, avoiding heavy or greasy cosmetics, and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure.
When should I seek medical attention for milia?
Most cases of milia do not require medical attention and can be managed with proper skin care practices. However, you should consult a dermatologist if you have persistent or widespread milia, if milia are causing discomfort or irritation, or if you notice any changes in the appearance or size of milia. A dermatologist can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs.
