Understanding Milia !
SKIN DISEASES
What are Milia?
Milia are small, white, keratin-filled cysts that form under the skin, often on the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. They are harmless and often mistaken for whiteheads or other skin conditions.
What Causes Milia?
Milia occur when keratin, a protein found in skin, hair, and nails, becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. This can happen due to various reasons, including:
• Newborn Milia – Common in infants as the skin adjusts outside the womb.
• Skin Damage – Burns, blisters, or dermatological procedures.
• Sun Damage – Thickened skin from prolonged sun exposure.
• Skin Conditions – Rosacea or eczema can increase the risk.
• Heavy Skincare Products – Use of heavy or rich products may clog the pores.
Symptoms of Milia :
White or yellow bumps, painless, often on the face but can appear elsewhere like torso and limbs.
Treatment of Milia :
Milia are typically harmless and may not need treatment. For cosmetic reasons, treatment include
• Manual extraction – removal is done using a sterilized needle which opens the skin and extract the milia.
• Topical retinoids, chemical peels, MDA or laser therapy to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells.
What Preventive Measures can be taken ?
- Maintain a good skincare habit.
- Gentle exfoliation regularly to prevent blockages.
- Use non-comedogenic products that do not clog pores.
- Use sunscreen daily to prevent sun damage.
- Opt for lighter, non-greasy skincare products.
Living with Milia :
While milia are harmless, they can sometimes be a cosmetic concern. A consistent skincare routine and professional treatments can help to manage and reduce their appearance.
