Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Milia are typically small white bumps that appear on the skin, often forming due to poor absorption of skincare products or oils by the skin. Methods for removing milia:
1. Gentle exfoliation: Use exfoliating products containing mild acidic ingredients to help remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal.
2. Retinoic acid: Under a doctor's guidance, apply low-concentration retinoic acid products locally to help promote skin cell turnover. However, use with caution and avoid sun exposure.
3. Professional treatments: If milia persist, seek medical advice. Treatments such as microneedling, laser therapy, or minor surgical procedures may be used to safely remove milia.
