Below, I list tips and treatments the dermatologists I spoke to recommend for those dealing with milia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do not pop them:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s not easy to remove milia at home and the dermatologists I spoke to do not recommend squeezing or manually extracting the milia. That\u2019s because it can lead to inflammation and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/scar-treatments-rcna124032\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scarring<\/a>\u00a0if not done properly, which can result in a spot or mark that is more noticeable than the milia itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visit your dermatologist:<\/strong>\u00a0Unlike\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-pimple-patches-ncna1254463\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pimples<\/a>, which have an opening for the contents to empty when squeezed, milia do not have an opening, so it\u2019s best to treat them in a dermatology office. In this setting, the dermatologist can use a sterile needle to deroof the top of the milia and empty the contents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use retinoids and\/or gentle exfoliants:\u00a0<\/strong>Using a topical retinoid or a chemical exfoliant like AHAs and BHAs may help. \u201cWhile people will try to treat milia with retinoids and exfoliating acids, these tend to work best at prevention (rather than treatment), and it is important to avoid overusing these ingredients as this can lead to further irritation. In more severe cases of milia, oral retinoid prescriptions like isotretinoin (known as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mosaferian.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Accutane<\/a>) can also help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replace heavy eye creams or moisturizers:\u00a0<\/strong>The main culprits of milia are heavy skin care products that can leave skin congested. If you\u2019re dealing with milia, replace any heavy creams and ointments with lighter moisturizers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you prevent milia in the first place?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people who are prone to milia, in-office procedures like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mosaferian.com\/en\/microneedling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">microneedling<\/a>, microdermabrasion and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mosaferian.com\/en\/tca-peel\/\">chemical peels<\/a> can prevent or decrease the risk of developing them, experts say. For at-home treatments, use a gentle exfoliating face wash with ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to decrease the risk of milia. Topical retinoids, which increase skin cell turnover, can also help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your skin is dry but you are prone to milia, look for a moisturizer that has humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid to pull moisture into the skin and a light occlusive like dimethicone (rather than petrolatum, oils or butters, which are heavier) to seal it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protecting your skin from damage can prevent them, too. That includes using sun protection (like a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/how-shop-sunscreen-ncna1305708\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sunscreen<\/a>\u00a0with SPF 30 or higher) and carefully treating wounds after injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long does it take for milia to go away?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Milia often go away on their own, but it may take several weeks or a couple of months. For infants and newborns, milia will usually disappear within a few weeks. However, adults typically have milia for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the difference between milia and keratosis pilaris?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Milia can look very similar to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-keratosis-pilaris-treatments-ncna1303451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keratosis pilaris<\/a>\u00a0(also known as KP), which are small white bumps that typically affect the upper arms and thighs. The lesions of keratosis pilaris are typically much smaller and more numerous than that of milia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the difference between milia and acne?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Milia are tiny white-to-yellow bumps, which may often be confused with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-acne-body-washes-rcna156095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fungal acne<\/a>&nbsp;(caused by an infection or yeast overgrowth) or comedonal acne like whiteheads (caused by clogged hair follicles and are not inflamed). Unlike milia,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/select\/shopping\/best-treatment-acne-spot-pimples-cleansers-ncna1136656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">acne bumps<\/a>&nbsp;usually form within a pore and are more red, inflamed and\/or painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/health\/other\/how-to-get-rid-of-and-prevent-milia-according-to-derms\/ar-AA1z49u8?ocid=msedgntp&amp;pc=U531&amp;cvid=405f6bea23bf4ec2da4c000d84fa0425&amp;ei=30\">How to get rid of and prevent milia, according to derms<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best way to treat milia is to wait them out (many will go away on their own) or pay a visit to your dermatologist for an in-office treatment (which is the most effective way to get rid of the bumps).
