If You Have These Tiny, White Bumps on Your Face, Don’t Try to Remove Them! (Page 3 ) | February 7, 2025

Eyelid, ear, cheek, or jaw milia is a common skin condition that may develop in people with discoid lupus or lichen planus, both of which are autoimmune skin conditions. Although it most often affects middle-aged women, it may affect anyone of either sex at any age [1].

Adults and older children often exhibit this kind of milia. On the genitalia, around the eyes, or on the forehead, you could find a cyst. It might linger for a few weeks or even months before going away[1].

In rare cases, milia may appear on the skin at the site of another skin lesion, such a sunburn or rash. Inflamed cysts may change color from white in the core to crimson around the periphery [1].

Because milia are so obvious, a dermatologist can tell whether you have them just by looking at the cysts. Rare instances warrant the use of skin lesion biopsies [2]. Consult a medical professional to determine the diagnosis of milia and, if desired, to begin treatment if you notice similar little white spots on your skin.
