Here's what they *actually* are—and what to do about them.
Ever notice small white or yellow bumps under or on your eyelids or on your nose or cheeks? Those stubborn bumps are technically called milia, tiny cysts that form under the skin.
“About half of infants will have milia, usually presenting on the face,” says Nkanyezi Ferguson, MD, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. “In newborns, the milia will usually resolve on their own within four weeks without need for treatment and without scarring.”
“Milia can develop in an area following a blistering process or superficial ulcers from either trauma or procedures,” says Dr. Ferguson. Smart skincare is important, but it won’t get rid of milia. Not cleansing properly doesn’t cause milia, says Dr. Fenske.
