Quick Summary:

Milium is a benign condition that presents as a small cyst under the skin surface, commonly on the face
These cysts can occur in individuals of any age group and gender. They are usually multiple in numbers, and hence, called Milia (plural of Milium)
There are no significant signs and symptoms associated with Milia, although they may not be cosmetically appealing, particularly if they occur on the face
There are no identified risk factors or causative factors for Milia, in a majority of the cases. Hence, the occurrence of these cysts cannot be frequently prevented
Milia may not require any treatment in most cases. Also, in a majority of individuals, it may disappear spontaneously on its own. However, if treatment is necessary, the options may include topical creams, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and dermabrasion
The prognosis is generally excellent for Milia, since these are benign cysts
