Do You Suffer From Milia?

Milia are small harmless keratin cysts just under the surface of the skin. They are very common and usually located on the eyelids and cheeks. They can sometimes arise from skin trauma or excessive occlusion of the skin.

How Can I Remove Them?

They can be de-roofed using a sterile needle and the contents pricked out.

They may be destroyed using diathermy (this was used in the above patient) or cryotherapy.

For widespread lesions or to prevent recurrence, topical retinoids are usually used.
