Milia removal can be a daunting task. They often show up on the face and seem to be impossible to get rid of without scarring your skin<\/strong>. And if you try to pop them, they keep coming back! So what’s the best way to get rid of milia for good? Please keep reading for our tips on how to remove milia at home with ease and no scarring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Types of milia<\/h2>\n

Milia come in five different types \u2014 neonatal, primary, traumatic, milia en plaque, and multiple eruptive milia.<\/p>\n

Neonatal milia<\/h3>\n

Neonatal milia are the most common type, affecting roughly half of all newborns. They’re small, white bumps that show up on the face, usually around the nose, cheeks, or chin.<\/p>\n

Primary milia<\/h3>\n

Primary milia are less common, and they occur when dead skin cells get trapped in a small pocket on the surface of the skin<\/strong>. They can happen at any age, but they’re most likely to show up in adults between the ages of 40 and 50.<\/p>\n

When keratin becomes trapped under the skin, it forms a small, hard bump. Luckily, you can easily get rid of them in the comfort of your home.<\/p><\/div>\n

Traumatic milia<\/h3>\n

Traumatic milia occur when an injury to the skin, such as a burn, blister, or pimple, damages the small pockets where dead skin cells accumulate<\/strong>. They usually heal on their own within a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Milia en plaque<\/h3>\n

Milia en plaque is a large, flat lesion that can cover a wide area of the skin. They’re most often seen in people with certain autoimmune disorders<\/strong>, such as lupus erythematosus or lichen planus.<\/p>\n

Multiple eruptive milia<\/h3>\n

Multiple milia are small, white bumps that appear in clusters<\/strong>. They can show up anywhere on the body, but they’re most often seen on the face, chest, and back. They usually appear in children and young adults<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What causes milia?<\/h2>\n

Milia are caused by keratin, a protein that’s found in the skin, nails, and hair. When keratin becomes trapped under the skin, it forms a small, hard bump<\/strong>. Milia can also be caused by certain medications, such as steroids, retinoids, or lithium. Also, people who have had radiation therapy are at risk for developing milia.<\/p>\n

How to remove milia at home?<\/h2>\n

Even though there are many different ways how you can remove milia, including de-roofing, and laser treatments<\/strong>, we recommend you to try some home remedies first<\/strong> as they are gentle on the skin and usually more affordable. Milia removal at home can take some time and patience, but it’s definitely possible to get rid of them without scarring your skin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Use a warm compress<\/h3>\n

A warm compress can help soften the keratin that’s trapped under the skin, making it easier to remove. To use a warm compress, soak a clean washcloth in hot water and hold it on the milia for five to 10 minutes. Repeat this process two to three times a day until the milia disappear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is a therapeutic application of gentle heat<\/strong> to the skin. It\u2019s a popular treatment at beauty spas because it induces a sense of well-being and relaxation while increasing blood flow<\/strong> in the skin \u2013 allowing oxygen and nutrients to efficiently move through blood vessels. This process is essential for the regrowth of damaged tissue<\/strong>, the stimulation of fibroblasts, and lymphatic drainage. <\/p>\n

Choose an exfoliating cleanser<\/h3>\n

Exfoliating cleansers can help to slough away dead skin cells, which can prevent milia from forming in the first place. To use an exfoliating cleanser, wet your face and massage the cleanser into your skin using circular motions<\/strong>. Rinse it off with warm water and pat your skin dry. Do this once or twice a week as needed.<\/p>\n
