Understanding Milia: The Skin Issue Often Mistaken for Acne
Overview
We all strive for clear, healthy skin, but acne often stands in our way. Yet, not every blemish is acne. One common skin issue often confused with acne is milia.What Are Milia?
Milia are small, white bumps that can appear on the face at any age. They resemble whiteheads but aren't the same, which means they require a different approach for treatment. Unlike acne, standard acne treatments can actually worsen milia.Differentiating Whiteheads and Milia
Whiteheads
Whiteheads occur when dead skin cells, white blood cells, bacteria (P. Acnes), and sebum clog the pores of the sebaceous glands. With a closed surface, these comedones can lead to acne. If whiteheads become infected, they may scar your skin.Milia
Milia consist of trapped dead skin cells beneath the skin's surface. They do not involve infection, bacteria, or sebum. When you extract a milium, you'll find only a white mass of dead skin cells. These bumps are harmless but can be removed for cosmetic reasons.Treating Milia
To remove milia, extraction by a professional is recommended, especially if they're near sensitive areas like the eyelids. Here are some preventive measures:- Exfoliation: Regularly exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells.
- Microdermabrasion: Consider microdermabrasion treatments to keep the top skin layer polished.
- AHAs and Retinoids: Use products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or vitamin A derivatives to help peel away dead skin cells.
Always consult with your dermatologist for the best prevention and treatment strategies.
