Milia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Milia are small superficial cysts, white or yellowish in color, that form when keratin, a skin protein, becomes trapped just beneath the surface.
How they present: They appear as tiny firm bumps, often around the eyes, on the cheeks or on the nose, and can be seen in both babies and adults.
Context: In newborns they are very common and usually disappear on their own; in adults they may be related to prior skin damage or to certain products.
Which specialist treats them? The dermatologist is the one who evaluates these lesions when their management is desired, and the pediatrician guides families when they appear in babies. If they cause you doubts or cosmetic bother, a specialized consultation allows them to be resolved safely and without manipulating the skin on your own.
