Milia are commonly found on the skin of people of all ages. They are
formed when dead skin does not slough off normally but instead remains
trapped in a tiny, round pocket on the surface of the skin. An individual
milium (the singular of milia) is formed at the base of a hair follicle or
sweat gland.
Milia can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary
milia are formed directly from sloughed-off skin and are very small,
fluid-filled cysts, usually found on the faces of infants and adults.
Secondary milia are also tiny cysts and look similar, but these develop
after something clogs the ducts leading to the skin surface, such as
after an injury, burn, or blistering of the skin.
Milia cream helps to slough off the dead skin cells and also helps to
actually heal the fluid-filled cysts.
