What Is Milia?
Milia are tiny, white, keratin-filled cysts that form just under the skin’s surface when dead skin cells or sebum get trapped in pores.
They are harmless but can affect skin texture and appearance, especially around the eyes, cheeks, and nose.
Common Causes of Milia:
-
Excessive sun exposure
-
Heavy skincare or makeup products
-
Improper exfoliation
-
Skin trauma or burns
-
Genetic predisposition
