Frequently Asked Questions
Can milia go away on their own?
Yes—many primary milia resolve naturally over weeks to months as skin renews itself.
Is it safe to extract milia at home?
Dermatologists strongly advise against it due to risk of scarring and infection. Professional extraction is much safer.
Will sunscreen cause more milia?
Only if it’s heavy or comedogenic. Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas labeled “oil-free” or “won’t clog pores.”
