Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that typically appear on the face, especially around the eyes and cheeks. They occur when keratin (a type of protein) becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface.
Common causes include:
Dead skin buildup that gets trapped in pores
Use of heavy skincare products that clog pores
Sun damage that thickens the skin
Skin trauma like burns, rashes, or aggressive exfoliation
No, milia removal doesn’t hurt, they may be a bit stubborn to remove at times but this is not uncomfortable.
Professional Extraction – Safe removal by a skincare expert
Gentle Exfoliation – Using mild exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs
Retinol Creams – Helps with skin renewal
Laser or Chemical Peels – For persistent cases
