Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the face, especially around the eyes, cheeks, and nose. These tiny cysts form when keratin, a protein found in skin, becomes trapped beneath the surface instead of naturally exfoliating. Milia are harmless, non-inflammatory, and not contagious, but they can be frustrating for those concerned with skin texture or appearance.

There are several types of milia, with primary milia appearing spontaneously and secondary milia forming as a result of skin damage, such as burns, rashes, or long-term use of certain skincare products. Milia are most common in newborns but can affect individuals of all ages.

Our dermatology team ensures a precise and hygienic approach to minimize discomfort and prevent scarring.
