Milia

Have you noticed small, persistent, white or yellowish bumps on your face, often around the eyes, cheeks, or nose? These are likely milia – tiny cysts filled with trapped keratin. While completely harmless, they can be cosmetically bothersome and difficult to remove safely at home. Attempting to squeeze them can lead to skin damage or scarring. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we offer safe, effective, and professional milia removal treatments to restore a smooth, clear skin surface.

Milia occur when keratin, a protein naturally found in skin, hair, and nails, becomes trapped beneath the outer layer of the skin, forming a tiny cyst. They are not related to acne or infection.

• Primary Milia: Form spontaneously, often seen in infants but common in adults too.
• Secondary Milia: Develop after skin damage, such as burns, blistering rashes (like poison ivy), dermabrasion, laser treatments, or long-term use of heavy creams or steroid creams.

• Tiny (1-2 mm) pearly white or yellowish bumps.
• Firm to the touch.
• Most common on the face: around the eyes (lids and under-eye), cheeks, nose, forehead.
• Can occur individually or in clusters.
• Typically painless and not itchy.

• Trapped Keratin: The primary cause.
• Poor Natural Exfoliation: Dead skin cells not shedding properly.
• Sun Damage: Can thicken the skin and contribute to formation.
• Occlusive Skincare Products: Heavy creams or oils can sometimes trap keratin.
• Skin Trauma or Inflammation: As seen in secondary milia.
• Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals are more prone to developing them.
