Milia appear as small, light-colored, hard spots on the face and are often mistaken for whiteheads. However, they are not spots; rather, they are buildups of keratin that form in the top layers of the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin). Milia frequently occur in areas of the face that are prone to dehydration. They typically cannot be removed at home and require professional extraction. Most people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons, as they are not harmful.
