Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that appear on the skin, usually on the face. They are caused by keratin, a protein that normally protects the skin, getting trapped under the skin and forming tiny cysts. While milia are not harmful or contagious, they can be cosmetically undesirable. Milia can affect anyone at any age and are often mistaken for other skin conditions, such as baby acne.

Milia vs. Baby Acne
Milia vs. Baby Acne
Understanding the difference between milia and baby acne is essential:
- Milia: Small, white or yellowish bumps caused by trapped keratin, forming tiny cysts. Milia do not cause inflammation or swelling and can appear at any age.
- Baby Acne: Small, red bumps or pustules caused by an inflammatory reaction to yeast on the skin. Baby acne can cause redness and irritation and usually appears in newborns, two to four weeks after birth.
