How Can Milia Be Recognized Through Its Appearance And Treated?
Question: skin issues. How can milia be recognized through its appearance and treated?
Brief Answer:
Most probably milia
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
After seeing the photo, it seems that most probably it may be milia.
Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Milia is a benign condition characterized by minute cystic lesions consisting of whitish keratinized material.
It may disappear without treatment. If it remains for a long time and if you are embarrassed, it may be removed by electrocautery under local anesthesia.
I hope this would help.
Thanks.
