How do I remove them?
1. Extraction by a Professional
One of the most reliable methods to remove milia is through professional extraction. Dermatologists or licensed skincare professionals have the tools and expertise to remove them without causing infection or scarring.
2. Topical Retinoids
Prescription treatments like retinoid creams can help speed up the natural exfoliation process, making it easier for the trapped keratin to surface and the milia to clear up. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist for this type of treatment.
3. Over-the-Counter Exfoliants
Products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) can help exfoliate the skin and encourage the turnover of skin cells, making it easier for milia to disappear. Consistent use is key for the best results.
4. Home Remedies
Some people find benefits using home remedies like steaming the face to open pores or using gentle facial scrubs. However, these methods should be done with caution to avoid irritation.
5. Avoid Heavy Creams and Oily Products
Products that clog pores can contribute to the formation of milia. Opt for non-comedogenic skincare products to minimize the risk.
While the presence of small white bumps on your skin can be bothersome, they are generally harmless and treatable. Understanding what they are and choosing the right treatment methods can help you achieve clearer, bump-free skin. If in doubt, always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
