Milia Seeds: Causes & Care
What Are Milia Seeds?
Milia seeds are small, white cysts that form when keratin, a type of protein found in the skin, becomes trapped beneath the surface. These cysts are commonly found around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead and can affect individuals of all ages.
Causes of Milia Seeds
Milia seeds may develop due to several factors, including:
Skin Damage: Burns, rashes, or excessive sun exposure may contribute to their formation.
Heavy Skincare Products: Thick creams or oil-based products can lead to clogged pores.
Genetic Factors: Some individuals may be more prone to developing milia.
Aging: As skin renewal slows down, dead cells may accumulate and cause milia.
How to Manage Milia Seeds
1. Professional Extraction
A trained dermatologist or aesthetician can safely remove milia using sterile tools. This method helps to prevent scarring and infection.
2. Laser Treatments
Laser treatments can be used to break down milia, promoting a clearer skin surface.
3. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels help exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and reducing the likelihood of milia formation.
4. Topical Retinoids
Retinoid-based creams promote natural skin renewal and may help reduce the occurrence of milia.
When to Seek Professional Advice
If milia seeds persist despite home care or appear in large clusters, consulting a dermatologist can provide more insights into appropriate treatment options.
Conclusion
Milia seeds are common and can develop due to various factors. Understanding their causes and management can assist in maintaining healthy skin.
