Consult a dermatologist if:

Milia persist for months without improvement

New bumps appear suddenly and spread

Over-the-counter exfoliants or home remedies do not work

You wish to remove them safely without scarring or irritation

Professional assessment is important because milia can sometimes resemble other skin conditions requiring different treatments.

 Do’s:

Seek professional removal to prevent scarring or infection

Maintain a gentle skincare routine.

Protect your skin from sun exposure

Use dermatologist-recommended exfoliants or retinoids.

Keep treated areas clean and moisturized.

 Don’ts:

Don’t pick, squeeze, or try to remove milia at home.

Avoid harsh scrubs or abrasive treatments on affected areas.

Don’t use heavy creams that can clog pores.

Avoid excessive sun exposure immediately after laser or extraction.

Don’t skip follow-up if advised by your dermatologist
