Known as milia milk spots, are small, dome-shaped bumps on the skin that are usually white or yellow, they’re usually not itchy or painful. They are normally found around the eye and cheek area, but can appear anywhere on the face or body. Unlike a pimple or spot, milia feel quite hard, almost like a tiny ball under the skin, and do not have any redness or inflammation as can happen with whiteheads or acne-related spots. It is very common to have several milia appear in skin around the eyes.
What causes milia?
Milia are formed by the buildup of keratin underneath the skin. Some dermatologists suggest this could be due to damage to the sweat glands after skin trauma, such as inflammation or a burn for example. Other risks include, contributing lifestyle factors, including lack of sleep, smoking, poor personal hygiene, using oil-based beauty products in excess, and possibly long-term steroid use. Cell turnover usually slows down as we get older, making mature skin more susceptible to recurring milia.
