​Dermatology - Milium

​Dermatology - Milium
Milia can develop at any age, including infancy, either spontaneously, particularly around the eye, or in connection with different skin conditions characterized by blistering or small fluid-filled sacs beneath the outermost layer of the skin. These conditions may include pemphigoid, porphyria cutanea tarda, bullous lichen planus, epidermolysis bullosa, or skin injuries such as abrasions, burns, dermabrasion, or radiation therapy.

A milium is a small, shallow, white to yellow cyst that contains keratin. It typically appears in multiple locations on the eyelids, cheeks, and forehead, specifically in the pilosebaceous follicles.
The diagnosis is determined through clinical examination.

The treatment approach involves making an incision and extracting the contents.
