Milia. A sunburn, rash, blister or tattoo can prompt milia to form under the skin. Creams or ointments can also sometimes.
They are often confused with whiteheads or acne breakouts. Secondary milia develop after some sort of skin trauma. Milia (milk spots) are small, white cysts on your skin.
How Can You Treat Milia?
Milia are small bumps that commonly develop on a newborn’s nose, chin, forehead, or cheeks. Milia occur when dead skin cells or keratins (proteins found in skin and hair) get trapped within the base of a hair follicle or sweat gland. They are often confused with whiteheads or acne breakouts. The most common place to find milia are on your face.
