What Is Milia?

Milia are small, white, pearl-like bumps that form when dead skin cells or keratin become trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Unlike acne, milia are not caused by bacteria or oil, and they do not respond to typical acne treatments.

Milia can appear on:

• Under-eyes
• Eyelids
• Cheeks
• Nose
• Forehead
• Chin
• Jawline

They commonly occur due to genetics, thick moisturizers, sun damage, or friction.
