SOOO glad to find this, I'm 54 and milia has been the bane of my existence for decades! Hard to find reliable info on this. Thanks for posting!
she looks like Nancy from Stranger Things
I get this comment alot, lol
The short version: There isn't much that can be done for milia at home, see a dermatologist.

I’ve made an appointment!
@@elvadrum8539 My dermatologist didn't do anything to it. Applied the ointments such as "benzyl peroxide", etc., for 4 months but no results.
Update! The dermatologist wouldn’t remove my milia. She said to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist because it was in my lower lash line. I’m using Curology by the way and since 5 months ago I notice that It’s gone down to a minute fleck. No worries.
Fortunately, I have not been troubled by this issue, but now I know just to head to the dermatologist! Thanks for all your tips and sensible info I know I can trust. I have been washing my face, leaving it wet, applying Hydroboost and my Cerave moisturizer and my skin is so happy and looks great. I never go without sunscreen and purchased the cutest SPF 50 hat for wearing around town. Keep the videos coming ~ we love them!
Thanks Ms Susan and glad to hear you enjoyed :)
Thank you for your video! How do I go about choosing an eye cream(or good things to look for in the ingredients) that doesn't cause/make milia worse?
Lazer treatment against milia -
Ive had milia since i was 13 or so, and ive had them removed everyother year for 13 years now with lazertreatment. So basically what happens is that the doc uses this lazer pen and burns the milia to the root. It hurts quite alot but for a very short time so i prefer that way much more than the needle. Also one side effect is that it takes about 1.5 weeks for it to heal so youll walk arouns with 1st degree burns on your face for a few days untill you can remove the dry crusts. Dont remove these too early as it may cause scaring.
Also if you do remove them too fast ive found that they appear again after a while on the same spot. So let it heal and let the crusts fall off by its own or by a gentle touch.
I hope this information may help anyone in need.
I always refer to you as my "online dermatologist" to friends and today I went to my "real dermatologist" for a follow up appointment for my acne and she was so impressed with how clear and beautiful my skin is! Yay Differin! Simplifying my skin care routine has done wonders for my skin and I have you to thank for that!
Awesome to hear Ms Christine!
I have just started differin. What are your thoughts a year later? Do you still use it?
I use sunscreen, yet I have a lot of them under my eyes. I’m guessing from sun damage from when I was younger. My daughter is very skin conscious and has gotten them randomly on her face her whole life.
Love your videos Dr. ! Thanks for the honest and fact based information.
Thanks so much and I hope you are having a great friday :)
Great video again👍🏻 I’ve had milia for about 13 years I had Fraxel laser that took them away but after a few months they came back. I definitely believe eye creams has caused them. So no more eye creams unless it’s a light gel based. What do you think Andrea about gel eye cream? My Dr gave me Retin A to use for a month then come back in for removal. I am still using Retin A but have not went in for removal. I am soon as holidays are over. They are very noticeable and of course to me I see them over anything else. I had used a collagen serum and feel it caused them in beginning. As our eyes show age first the milia does not help at all. Thank you for your information and sharing. You are my go to for every skin issue👍🏻♥️
Pretty cool that they put a facial skin cancer commercial on before your video. First time I didn't skip an ad.
Thank you for talking about milia today! Very informative and much appreciated. Great video as always 😊 have a great weekend!
OMG i had no idea such a commercial existed!! Happy weekend to you and the fam Ms Brandi :)
Hello i'm using a PHA moistrizer cream by COSRX as a night cream and i have milia in my eye area . so is the pha good or bad for milia ?
Thanks for posting this. I just wanted to share that, years ago I got an eruption of milia all over my chin. My dermatologist put me on Tazorac cream at the highest strength for 6 months, and it was hell, because I had acne as well, but they all went away without scarring and have never come back since!
Thanks! Glad to hear they cleared up...tazorac can be very drying, but is a good medication for acne
I recently had the electrosurgery at my dermatologists office to get rid of sebaceous hyperplasia on my face, and after only two weeks my skin looks great! Other than a bit of redness where the spots were, there is no sign of bumps/rough texture anymore! This is the only thing that has worked and now I use different to help prevent them further. While it was uncomfortable for a couple seconds (no topical anesthetic), I highly recommend it!
Thanks so much for sharing this Ms Amy and I am so happy to hear this worked out well for you :)
Amy L. Kamran Disfani awesome! Is your skin still doing good? Also, how much did it cost you? 😮
I found I got milia under my eyes with heavy eye creams. After I stopped those they went away
Honestly, I think something like that is causing my milia. I use a few products and have started using the Hada Labo premium lotion and while it is a good product, I think I just have to admit it isn't for my skin type. It is too hydrating for my combination skin. I am going to cut it out and stop using eye cream and see how it goes.
Feel like I got them from eye cream from avon.
Agree. I started using less eye cream and it’s helped.
I get it whenever I use any Serum or eye cream
Really? They naturally went away by themselves without any treatments??
Dr. Dray, thank you for these Q&A videos. Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much and you too!
Well, I just returned from my derm appt, and the one thing near my eye is milia. I suspected that, but I wanted to be sure that it wasn't skin cancer. I thought about asking them to remove it, but it's not really bothersome. Rather than spend the money on a non-essential procedure that my insurance won't cover, I'll use that money to buy more sunscreen -- and maybe some Coolibar! Have a great day.
Hi Dr. Dray! I understand these can't be removed at home but any suggestions for milia in the lips? Maybe just to soothe them a little?
Dr.Dray, you are so appreciated for sharing all your knowledge with your viewers! Thank you again. Love and Light 💖Carli
Thanks Ms Carli :) Happy weekend to you
Fantastic information! Thank you for your candidness and expertise. So glad to have found your channel :)
You’re an amazing woman. Thank you!
thanks!
✨Love your videos! Have been religiously watching all your uploads. Learning so much from you and so stoked to have finally found such quality content! Cheering you on from Australia! ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks!!
"Or a butcher's knife!" Haha that is the best thing that I have heard all day! Have a great weekend!
lol :)
Dr. Dray!!! Because of how accutane “resets” pores to act normal, will accutane also get rid of/fix milia during its process of fixing acne as well??
murph murphy I am on accutane for 3mos dear but before taking accutane I don’t have milia they jus came out Aftr one month I’m so disappointed
I have seen milia after Accutane 😔
Hi Dr.Dray!!! Love ur videos and specially ur advice!! ... Is it truth that One of the causes of Milia can b using oils or creams too greasy? And what do u think of using Glycolic Acid from The Ordinary to remove’m (tapping’m with a q-tip?)
Hi, I have large flat milia that are super hard and visible when I pull my skin tight. I'm on my second course of accutane and I started noticing them during my first course. never had it before. they're absolutely vile and in bad lighting they resemble pitted scars because they ruin my texture. I use sunscreen, I honestly do everything right while on accutane. they're huge, unsightly, and driving me nuts. is this common?!
First, I love and really appreciate your videos. I'm so interested in skincare, and it's really cool to get info from a professional who's so real with her comments! I'm especially interested in all of your Asian beauty reviews :) (I'm all for putting weird things (snail secretion!) on my face if it's helpful, but it's often hard to find out what ingredients are trendy and helpful vs. what's just trendy.
Sorry for the completely off-topic question--do you use bimap/something like that? Your eyelashes are amazing, and they've been looking even longer lately. Also, if I don't really have an acne problem, would you still recommend Differin as a retinol for anti-aging? Thanks!
Thanks so much!! I don't use anything for eyelash growth, but thank you for the complement. I continue to use differin for acne control, as well as removing sun damaged skin cells. It is not fda approved for wrinkles, like tretinoin, however, is likely more effective in the realm of "anti-aging" than a cosmetic retinol (despite package/marketing claims).
To save you time basically, do not try to remove them on your own use spf to prevent and go to dermatologist for treatment
Suuucks, I've had one little milia on my right eye lid for a few months now and it bugs me like crazy :( Takes everything in me not to poke or dig at it. I thought it was a stye at first but it doesn't appear to be leaving lmao I can't afford a derm and there's only one in my city with a crazy wait list (2yrs or something like that)
I have milia around the eyes, on my cheeks, behind the ears, arms , neck and chest. On doing skin biopsy they came up with the conclusion that I have DLE. Also, I suffer from alopecia. Any advice would be of great help.
I was so very glad to find your channel. I appreciate information from someone that delivers it in an enjoyable way. I know this isn't quite the same issue probably however, how would you address the bumpy patches that occur on skin like shoulders top of back in particular. I think the name starts with the letter K but not positive. I have read several articles about people retina this with Donell Body Tingle. I think it has 20% glycolic acid which is the active exfoliating ingredients. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you for all the info you provide your subscribers. Have a good weekend. Thank you. Kat
kathy scott thanks Ms Kathy! Keratosis pilaris? I do have a video on tips for keratosis pilaris, so check it out if you are interested 👍🏼
I'd love your take on how to treat both at home and in office sebaceous hyperplasia.
You could basically swap out the word milia for sebaceous hyperplasia in this video and the message would be the same, lol. No at home remedy for sebaceous hyperplasia...and when i say no at home remedy....i mean it, so don't fall for a package claim.
There are claims that these ingredients are a miracle for those like me that have sebaceous hyperplasia. onized water with Silver ions, Emu Oil, Sulfur USP (in microencapsulated form), Blackcurrant (Ribes Nigrum) Seed Oil, Borage (Borago officinals) Seed Oil, Azelaic Acid , Primrose Oil, Safflower Oil, Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Oil, Serine, Zinc Oxide USP(in microencapsulated form),Camphor, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, White Willow Bark Extract, Vitamin E (d¦Á Tocopherol), Grapefruit seed extract. This is from a cream that Brianna Stanko shared on her channel and she said that it worked at making hers almost non existent. What are your thoughts?
Thank you Dr. Dray for addressing sebaceous hyperplasia in your comments here. So frustrating to deal with. Your videos and sharing your knowledge are wonderful. Love your humor on top of it all.
@@MakeupForMatureSkin hope. None of those topical ingredients are going to do anything for sebaceous hyperplasia..
Thank you do much for this I have milia under my eyes and it's been bothering me so much ..
Just the right video I needed. Thanks Dr Dray
Glad it was helpful and happy friday :)
Really enjoy watching your videos every day! So interesting and helpful. keep it up :)
Thanks so much Ms Alicia and happy friday to you :)
Thank you so much for this! Should certain moisturizers or creams be avoided (i.e. Does that contribute to formation)? I have been hesitant to use under eye cream for fear of getting more milia! Thank you!!
No, moisturizers do not contribute to formation
Mam it increases day by day how could i stop thr growth it seems really very bad on my face plz guide what to do?
Thank you for this information. Milia is a problem that has been frustrating me and now I know why it doesn't resolve! Thank you for sharing this information.
they are pesky for sure! glad my video was helpful :)
Dr. Dray, appreciate your vlogs especially with medical overall info. Helps me make informed choices.
I have developed something on my cheeks that seems not firm and white enough to be milia but also not red enough to be KP. Any ideas what that could be?
Helpful video. I have a small milia and since using tretinoin it has gotten smaller...I think that in another 3 or 4 months it will be gone.
Cute hair Dr. Dray,
thanks a lot for oily skin care routines! lots of love!!💕💕
keep em coming Dr!!
do you have any opinion on Neutrogena hydraboost Chinese version! yeah that sounds weird hehehe
Thanks so much!! I don't have an opinion on chinese hydroboost as i never used or encountered it
Thank you for the video. Are some eye gels or creams that can be used that would less likely contribute to milia near the cheek or eye area? I think some creams or cosmetics can contribute to milia. Your advice is appreciated.
Wow, thank you! This was so informative and helpful. I started getting these a couple of years ago. Your video was the best overall info that I've found.
They are frustrating
Very helpful and as always, so enlightening - THANK YOU
Thanks!
I have a question, so I moved to California last year and never used sunscreen on my face previously (I lived in Oklahoma) I'm 23, and when i heard how much your skin needs sunscreen I started using Aveeno positively radiant which contains oxybenzone which I hear is really bad for you, so i switched to la rosche mineral zinc+titanium. I never once noticed these little bumps on my face, but ever since i started putting sunscreen on starting with the aveeno i've been getting milia (like directly under my eyelash) and I thought switching to the la rosche would fix it but pretty sure i am still getting them. my dermo gave me tretinoin cream but i'm scared to put it under my eyes constantly because the skin is so sensitive, and i'm also scared to try any sunscreens for fear of continuously getting them. do you have any advice? do you think the sunscreen could actually cause this?
no
Dr Dray z
I went to a massage place with my mom just the little store front ones that Asians do. They were rubbing and touching my face the next morning I woke up with a huge rash and milia bumps all over my mouth chin cheeks ! I went to the dermatologist and she gave me hydrocortisone cream? Is that an effective treatment cause I was a bit worried to use steroid cream on my face. I have never had this condition so it is most likely from the massage I got
Would the Aztec clay mask suck the keratin and oils trapped inside them?
Nope. If retinol won't work, clay won't work.
I've had two facials at a derm to extract milia and was prescribed finacea foam. I find after I use the foam I can remove some on my own. Do you recommend the foam?
Finacea foam=azelaic acid 15%
I’ve been using Cerave (tub version) on my face and I have been having issues with Milia. And I just learned milia occurs from petroleum, and that Cerave moisturizer has petroleum in it. Is this true petroleum causes milia?
I've had the same issue with Cerave SA Moisturizing Cream
Alli B. .. yes.. I got cera v moisturizer cream.... n my face strarted getting white bumps on my face
Surmaee Kelkar did u get rid of them
an_c I stoped using cerave moisturizer... so my morning routine is cleansing my face with cetaphil cleanser den I apply neutrogena hydro boost gel cream on damp face n den neutrogena hydro boost sunscreen spf50 n in night time ... clean n clear face wash .. then applying bioderma atoderm creame on damp face n den apply tamanu oil 1-2 drops on face ...on. Alternate days n other days I apply neutrogena rapid wrinkle regenerating retinol creame
@@bekind4137 has this reduced your milia?
have a great weekend dr dray! :)
thanks! you too :)
This overview is very helpful! Such a frustrating skin issue... also you new hair cut is smashing.
Hi so what is a good face wash to use for skin that get white spots I’ve used cetaphil before but the white spots are still there I even put 1% cream on it they come and go
Thank you for this video! Unfortunately I’ve been struggling with milia my whole life. I read in the comments that moisturizers do not cause milia but what about makeup? I’m very good about removing my makeup before bed and I don’t wear it as often.. but could makeup cause milia? Also should I be opting for oil free products or does that have no effect at all? Thanks again💘
nope; doesn't matter
What moisturizers dont cause it?
differin/adapalene made my milia worse? i only had a little on my cheeks now its everywhere, my cheeks, forehead, and chin
THANK YOU for the milia information. Did I understand that there is any cleanser or moisturizer that will help while I wait for an appointment??
description box; thanks!
Thanks for another great Q&A! Butcher knife, ouch lol. I hope your Friday is going well!
Thanks Ms Sherry and you too!
Do you think i can use bha products to help remove milia or is it exclusive to aha only
What is the difference between milia an syringoma.. I'm confused
Does putting Vaseline around the nose to prevent retin A from spreading there cause milia?
I’m having same issue as I use Vaseline (Cerave) all over my face to prevent deta ness frm retin a and it’s working really great without any problems but hv noticed some milia bumps under eye area.. wonder cerave ointment (Vaseline) causing it?
Hello! I've been dealing with acne for 3 years now. It has never been too bad. Mostly white heads and zits but I never have more than 6 on my face. Not extremely bad. I have normal to dry skin. What do u think a dermatologist would recommend? Much love!!!
hard to say...but probably a variety of helpful topical medications and/or potentially a systemic medication
Thanks, really needed this one
Very helpful, thank you!
Doc can i ask f have any medicine to cure milia plss reply and tell what medicine able to cure milia
I just had 2 milia removed by my dermatologist. They were on my forehead and chin. I had never had this before and they appeared after my face turned red & was burning after using a product containing Niacinamide, which I now know I’m reactive to. I had had a 3rd one on my chin but after my dermatologist upped my Tretinoin to 0.1%, it went away.
Thanks for this video, Dr. Dray. I enjoy all of your videos and greatly appreciate you taking the time to share all of this information with us! Have a great weekend! Rita
Thanks Ms Rita!!!
H i Dr.Dray,
Thank you for referring this video to me. I appreciate your honesty.
I see a dermatologist regularly. I have systemic lupus & have flares of the malar rash along with rosacea. I will consult with her.
Take care & have a good week end!
Debbie
Glad you found it Ms Debbie! Thank you so much for sharing this here in the comments.
Dr Dray you’re so cute with short hair!!
Thanks a bunch!
Great video!
Can you please suggest an eye cream for milia prone skin?
Yessss!! I really need this too! Ive noticed that I started getting milia after using eye cream
What are the bumps that are coverd by skin not white under eye and around eybrows?????
bahareh ghobadi , could be sebaceous hyperplasia. Check this out and see. Looks similar to milia, but fresh colored. Those have to be cauterised or froze off by derm. Please excuse spelling. Greetings from Illinois!
Do you think extractions are necessary during the differin "purge" phase?
sometimes a dermatologist might perform this on select lesions after careful examination...please don't do this yourself
Can we use AHA chemical expoliator on milia?? Please tell me please someone help me😭 i have 5 milia row wise near my eyebrow
Please describe the difference between milia and syringomas.
Ever since I was a kid I had milia in my chin and now around my eyes, I still wonder how to get rid of it
Insurance won’t pay for removal and I have a lot of them under my eyes! Senior lady 75 and it’s very ugly and upsetting, but not sure if I have any options. 😢
I would really like to start using an eye cream for anti aging. I am 27 and would like to prevent the fine lines. However, I don't want this milia. Do you recommend a good anti-aging eye cream that is light enough to not cause this?
Dr dray always recommends neutrogena retinol eye cream
Curious: only recently have I been getting milia. Could it be caused by a foundation with shea butter/coconut oil? An oil pre-cleanser? Even if I am using a cream foundation (with a very light hand), if I use a good cleanser or double cleanse, could the foundation still be a cause? And while I'm on it...do you believe in a double cleanse? Do you believe in using oil cleansers? A micellar water and cleanser? I have dry/mature/sensitve/reactive skin but it's in pretty darn good condition. But now, even when I work hard keeping it that way, I find I can't. Finding good cleansers isn't easy, especially for my skin type. And I won't use anything w/scent and essential oils (they make my skin angry). Any recs, I'm all ears. I'm also all ears if you think the cream foundation with shea/cocounut oil is at the root...I know, a lot of questions. Answers to any would be so helpful. Sorry for rambling...
milia are not caused by cosmetics; i use an oil cleanser
Wow! I had no idea! TY! I thought I was causing them by using cosmetics that clog pores.
TY so much for responding!
I really do appreciate your expertise and all the information you provide. I am super grateful that I came across you on UA-cam and the gram. 😚😚😚😚
Thanks so much Ms Danielle :)
I have a small bump after using rentnol a on my eyelid any advice ?
I now have 4 milia bumps come up on my cheek and 2 on my head, to clean I use ponds as my 1st cleanser and follow up by either cerave SA cleanser or a clay type cleanser that's a bit gentler as my 2nd (I dont always double cleanse) I use 0.5% retinol in squalane and lactic acid 5% + AHA (not on same day) atleast once/twice a week each also, they're the only other things I use though. I use cerava moisturise cream as my moisturiser and I ALWAYS use suncream now and have done pretty much everyday for a year or so. So I've got no idea what's going on because I feel like my routine isn't that bad 😫
Would you be able to do a video on lichen plains and things that could help it? Kind regards
*lichen planus.....( autotext😂)
Dr Dray, I've been reading about people's experiences with milia and since having mine extracted, I'm focused on prevention. I recently started using the lowest dose of tretinoin at night (every other day) and I have been using a BHA toner in the morning for several months now (which has really improved the appearance of my pores). Some of the information I found online suggested using AHA's, some said BHA's and others suggested a combination of the two. Most agreed that tretinoin was helpful. I have normal/combination skin. What do you think is the best course of action for preventing further milia from forming? Should I be adding AHA's to my arsenal? Thanks!
I would not go aggressive on all of the acids tbh. There is no "milia prevention" necessarily
Dr Dray thank you!
i pop my millia, and sometimes i can get a very small whites. but its still continous and it leaves scar? :(
what can i use to lighten scar and cure millia
yes it can lead to scarring
@@DrDrayzday please answer the question on how to get rid of it
Every time I get one I put some honey on it (I use raw honey but I'm not sure if it makes a difference) and after a couple days it's gone. I'm not sure what you could use for scars though :/
Hey Dr. Dray! I was wondering how long i should keep my sunscreen for? I've had this mineral sunscreen for a year but I'm not yet finished with the tube and as it is a very large tube I really don't want to waste it, should i just chuck it or is it still useful?
mineral sunscreen does not expire
I saw a video that says put Glycerine on the lower lid at night will help? Can you give your thoughts Doctor. Thanks for your Chanel.
it is a moisturizer but wont change milia
Can you recommend a sunscreen that I can use on my face that wont irritate my eyes? I have PCOS, so I have sensitive skin and am prone to acne.
EltaMD Uv replenish bit.ly/2VGbLhl
Can I Use honey to remove milia?
If you have milia PLEASE do not use MAYBELLINE FIT ME CONCEALER it will make more milia
Don't use Eucerin Aquaphor pra cicalfate too
I wish I would've known that before lol I did develop them, not too sure if it's because of this or the bye bye undereye by it cosmetics because it's a very thick consistency
I have their foundation
hello doctor, which product do you recommend for blackheads and whiteheads ??? I am using retin A, combined with benzoyl peroxide, it helps with pimples but it does not prevent the reappearance of whiteheads or blackheads all over the face which is my main problem, and my dermatologist does not explain which product is for my type of acne.
you are already using some of the best ingredients for this concern and i would not recommend anything else
hi doc.. thank you for this. a friend of mine had got electro surgery for her facial warts. could you please address cherry angioma anytime in the future?? both my parents have them on their upper back and stomach region.. my grandparents also have them.. I so don't want to get them- they look scary.. anyway, happy Friday doc..
I have talked about these in a prior q&a...benign skin lesion...everyone gets them
Dr Dray - thank you. I will check it out for sure doc..
I got rid of some of mine (which come on with too rich of a moisturizer) by using Pixi by Petra Glow tonic and occasional shaving my face. It takes a while but it worked. I still have one under one eye and on the cheek. I am on a chemo drug for Lupus so that may be why I'm prone to get them.
Thanks for sharing this! I am glad that some resolved. Hope you are having a great week :)
I have RA & I give myself Methotrexate Injections. I’ve been noticing some of these around my eyes. 😔💕
I have that glow tonic but is that okay to use under the eyes?? Because that’s where I get them
ua-cam.com/video/OvipPPFJMe8/v-deo.html
Is it dangerous to remove it around the eyelid?
Could you discuss the procedure referred to as "skin booster" where hyaluronic acid is put into the skin through a canula? The procedure is described as not being structural like the use of fillers but for skin hydration benefits.
I only expect you to discuss it from a scientific perspective rather than from a cosmetic procedure point of view. Aka is there any benefit to injecting deep into the dermis and can topical versions penetrate deep enough anyway to be useful ? I personally think it sounds crazy
I've also seen it administered with a device that stamps multiple needles into the skin
No skin health benefit that has been established
Dr Dray I trust you! I trust science ! Thank you
Dr. Dray, have your heard of Syringomas? How can i reduce or get rid of them? What skin care products should i use?
May Ger Vang yes. You cannot. There is no product for them
Some ppl have recommended retin A. Do you think that helps at all?
If over exfoliating can cause milia , would that mean that using tretinoin could cause them if you peel when using it ? Thank you so much !
It is possible, yes
Dr Dray Thank you ! Luckily, I'm conservative with my Retin A and don't use it enough to over irritate my skin . I'd rather have gradual results than look like a shedding snake all the time . I love your entertaining videos :-)
sad im the rare case of someone being born with facial milia and getting it my entire life
Sun screen increases my “milia” or whatever those tiny pumps under my skin, what alternatives to sunscreen there are?
I'm extremely prone to milia & my skin can develop milia within hours. I had to use sunscreen when i went to Florida & so far the RESIST Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 from Paula's Choice has been the only sunscreen that does not give me milia.
Try it out.
Carrot seed oil is a natural sun screen apparently. Dont think its waterproof though.
Sarsha Rivers this isn’t true. There are no alternatives to properly formulated sunscreen
Seek shade. Wear protective clothing and a wide-brim hat. Although you may not be able to wear sunscreen, you can still avoid sun exposure
Make sure to properly cleanse the skin with a double cleansing method (oil and normal cleanser). That may reduce it
I just started to notice a small whitish dot in the middle of my chin. Do milia come in multiples only? I dont know what to do.
there is no predictability to them
...this has nothing to do with the video but I love your jawline
Hello doc., it is possible to have milia to a 6th yr old child. May granddaughter had spots in her face but im not sure of it. But it looks like milia.
Hi Dr Dray. Recently i tried The Ordinary Niacinamide and i realized some milia appeared in just 2 days using that product. Is it possible that milia cause by the niacinamide or other ingredient in the product? I have high expectation on this product and this issue really upset me.
no
