Milia (singular: milium), commonly known as “milk spots“ or “oil seeds, “ are tiny, benign cysts—typically white or yellow—that form just beneath the skin's surface. They arise when keratin, a natural skin protein, becomes trapped under the epidermis, creating firm, dome-shaped bumps usually seen on the cheeks, nose, and around the eyes
These cysts are harmless, non-infectious, and rarely cause symptoms, though they may sometimes be itchy or, in clusters, form plaque-like patches .
Milia occur across all ages—affecting about 40–50% of newborns (neonatal milia), while adults can develop primary milia spontaneously or secondary milia after skin trauma, sun damage, steroid use, or thick skincare products
. While neonatal milia usually resolve on their own, adult milia can persist if untreated.AT LUSH SKIN & HAIR CLINIC WE TREAT MILIA TREATMENT IN BEST WAY IN SHAHEEN BAGH, ABUL FAZAL, JAMIA NAGAR , SARITA VIHAR, OKHLA VIHAR & JASOLA.
