FAQs:
Q: Can I pop or squeeze milia?
A: No. Milia are not pimples and can’t be extracted by squeezing. Doing so may damage the skin or cause scarring.
Q: How long does it take for milia to go away?
A: With consistent care, milia may begin to fade within a few weeks. Some may take a few months. For persistent cases, consult a dermatologist.
Q: Are there any over-the-counter treatments that help?
A: Yes! Look for products with gentle exfoliants like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or retinoids. These help increase cell turnover and prevent buildup.
Q: Can diet affect milia?
A: While not a direct cause, a diet high in processed foods and dairy may contribute to clogged pores. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants supports skin health overall.
