Milia are small white bumps that appear on the skin. Theyâre usually grouped together on the nose, cheeks, and chin, though they may appear elsewhere. Using a retinoid or retinol cream everyday can make your skin more susceptible to skin damage caused by sun exposure. Deroofing is the preferable treatment. A dermatologist will use a tiny needle to manually remove the milia. This will quickly heal the affected area. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
