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.
