Milia can develop when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface. It can happen to people of all ages. It is also common for babies. These tiny, dome-shaped bumps can be found on the lips, face, cheeks, and eyelids.
Meanwhile, it can also be found in different parts of the body.
If milia are scratched with rough clothing or sheets, it may result in redness and irritation.
Milia can be caused by different factors associated with skin damage, such as:
Milia removal around the eyes is the most common type. Looking like white spots, heavy oils from skincare products used around the eye area, particularly mineral oil, might need only one treatment unless there are multiple milia. Our milia removal treatment is suitable for home treatment or at our milia removal clinic.
Which products should you avoid if you have milia-prone skin?
If your skin is prone to milia, avoid products containing ingredients such as liquid petroleum, liquid paraffin, paraffin oil, petroleum oil, paraffinum liquidum, and petrolatum. These minerals can trigger milia formation.
How are milia diagnosed?
A well-experienced skin specialist can diagnose milia. It can be determined through the cyst’s appearance. Skin lesion biopsies are required in sporadic cases.
What are the ways to avoid milia?
There are many ways to remove milia. You can avoid this skin problem through thorough cleansing. It is essential to remove your makeup before you go to bed. Another way is acid exfoliation. You can look for BHA and AHA acid exfoliators. You can apply this 3 times a week.
Milia removal is necessary if you want to be confident in your skin’s appearance.
