What Is Milia?

Milia are small, firm, white cysts that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. They commonly appear around the eyes, cheeks, nose, or forehead.

Milia are harmless but do not typically resolve with regular skincare products. Many patients choose removal for cosmetic reasons or when the bumps persist.

Frequently Asked Questions

faq

Once specific milia are removed, they usually don’t return. However, new milia can form over time.

This isn’t recommended. Attempting to extract milia at home can damage the skin and lead to scarring or infection.

Milia should be removed by a qualified medical professional in a clinical setting. At Oakville Skin, all lesions are assessed within a dermatologist-led clinic to ensure accurate diagnosis and safe in-office removal.
