Key Points about Milia:
- Definition: Milia are small, white or yellow cysts that form on the skin, commonly on the face, due to trapped keratin under the skin surface. They are most frequently seen in newborns but can occur at any age.
- Causes: Causes include skin trauma, such as burns or blistering, prolonged use of heavy creams or steroids, and can also be associated with certain skin conditions like rosacea.
- Symptoms: Symptoms are typically asymptomatic, presenting as small, firm, white or yellowish bumps, often on the eyelids, cheeks, nose, and chin.
- Investigations: Diagnosis is clinical, based on visual examination of the characteristic lesions. No further tests are generally required unless other skin conditions are suspected.
- Management: Treatment is often unnecessary as milia may resolve on their own. If removal is desired, options include manual extraction, topical retinoids, or minimally invasive procedures like laser therapy or chemical peels.
- Complications: Complications are rare but can include scarring or infection if the cysts are improperly removed.
